    so, just like with everything that doesn’t come through in an omf, you mix down the audio (with handles) and overcut it before making the omf. Or, you don’t, and you just use it as a reference for the mixer to redo professionally.

    Sample rate is the how many samples per second the audio is measured in. Its the 44.1k 48k thing.

    Imagine a squiggly audio waveform. If you zoom way in on it, you can see the smooth curves turn into little staircases.That’s the only way to digitize an analog signal. Each one of these steps is a sample. If you audio is 48k, there are 48,000 steps per second.

    FCP will allow you to manipulate the audio down to the sample, so in a sense, audio is really 48,000 fps.

    This has nothing to do with my question though 🙂

    you’re right. Its usually a 3rd party plug in. I thought Soundtrack will do it for you though. And my point really was, if they give you they AUPItch filter, is it really that much more to have it automatically recognize what the correct pitch offset would be for the given playback speed? A guy posted a link to a (crude) table, couldn’t they just automate that part?

    It seems like the hightech expensive part would the algorithms and software that shifts the pitch AT ALL. Once you’re there, its the easiest thing in the world to have it automatically know that if the clip is at 105% the filter setting is -60, if the clip is at 106%, its -72, 107% = -84 etc.

    you rock. I knew this exact workaround had to be out there. It was in hopes of finding this table that I made this post.

    Hey Creative Cow really works!
