evets Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 'Feeling a bit ignorant here...I've been working on a project in Sonar @ 24/96 and when I export the mix to a 16 bit wave file on my desktop, it is saved as a 16 bit file @ 96 khz. Sounds great. Now, when I try to burn to a cd, it sounds noisy like a bad cassette, even in the preview. I assume it's in the conversion to 44.1k somewhere, but how do I do the conversion, or does the cd burner software (Roxio) do it? I don't see any conversion options in Sonar for after-the-fact sample rate conversion. Thanks in advance! -Steve ----------------------------------- Sometimes ya gotta find out what it ain't, to find out what it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alndln Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 You can't burn CD's in 96hz.The CD spec is 16/44.1hz.You'll have to downsample as well. "A Robot Playing Trumpet Blows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, do I do the conversion in Sonar, or does the Roxio software do it automatically? I don't see anywhere in Sonar to downsample. -Steve ----------------------------------- Sometimes ya gotta find out what it ain't, to find out what it is...

Anderton Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 The sampling rate and bit depth are saved with the project file, and anything done in that project will have the specified sampling rate. I use Wavelab to convert among bit depth, sample rate, format, etc. You really need more of a digital audio editor than multitrack recorder to do those kinds of conversions. Not sure if the Roxio does conversions, but I would tend to doubt it.

evets Posted March 2, 2002 Author Share Posted March 2, 2002 Thanks Craig...I know it sounded like an elementary question but it didn't occur to me that I was trying to burn a cd @ 96 khz until I looked at the file properties. I guess this explains the noise. I'll check out Wavelab. -Steve ----------------------------------- Sometimes ya gotta find out what it ain't, to find out what it is...
