  • OT: Converting Audio from 44.1 to 48KHz??

    Posted by Norman Willis on July 26, 2011 at 3:38 am

    OT: A friend offered to help edit some twini-cam video. He uses Magix, which has a multi-cam feature. He had issues rendering, because magix has to have everything match.

    My camera samples audio at 48KHz, while I recorded my headset mic onto a field recorder at 44.1KHz. I did not think to match the two sampling rates, because Vegas can use anything…but I guess Magix needs them to match.

    Is there any way to convert my audio file from 44.1KHz to 48KHz in post?

    The audio conversion should be as simple as dropping the 44.1k file into an empty Vegas project, setting the project audio to 48k, then rendering the audio out as 48k WAV PCM.

    If you have Sound Forge or an equivalent audio editor, you can do the same thing in that.

    Hm. He says he tried that already, and to no avail???? I am not sure what it is about Magix.

    He says he will use the Sony 30-day trial to edit the multi-cam video, and then in future projects I will try to match the foley sound to the camera.

    Canon says the 5DM2 is 48KHz, 16 bit. So I assume I just set the H4N to 48KHz, 16 bit, and then (at least hopefully) there will be no more issues….

    Hmm, strange that the sample rate conversion in Vegas didn’t work.

    It’s probably best to record at 48k on the H4n anyway, as video systems generally use that. 44.1k is really only for audio CD.

    Would it hurt anything to set it for 48KHz/24 bit? That way I would know that I always have all of the necessary depth….
