I’m going through the same thing but opposite. I shot a five camera concert and the band recorded it with 24 tracks. They mixed the show down and sent me the audio file as a 44.1k wav file. I noticed everything not lining up exactly but i cut their audio a few frames a song to line it up as best as they could tell. They would now like me to mix in a bit of the audio from my shotgun mics because they never mic’d the audience and want more of that live feel back in the dvd. Damn.

So I’ve tried the fit to fill option, but either it’s just not working or they songs are too long for it too work by the end of the song and it still has a noticeable drift.

Can I take their audio into something like Audacity or use Final Cut’s speed tool too make them match up? Is there an equation to go from 44.1 to 48k? Am I asking the impossible? Should I just admit to them I tweaked their stuff and as for a 48k mix out of the board?
