hi everyone,
I exported my files to 48 kHz as I always read 48 kHz is better so my whole setup from PC/DAW is set to 48 kHz but now someone said he needs the files in 44.1 kHz, I dont want to export all my music tracks from the DAW again as it takes some time. I see Wavelab has a batch conversion but will it change anything to the material when I convert them? like pitch, stretch, distortion etc.?
thx
Converting the sample rate does not change anything like pitch.
Just be sure to apply dithering if you’re gonna reduce the bit depth too (like 24 bit to 16 bit)
Conversions 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz as sample rate alone don’t need dithering.
Well, when you do a sample rate conversion with WaveLab, the rendered result will be at 32 bit float bit depth (or 64 bit float, if set in your preferences). So dithering afterwards might indeed be recommended / needed, unless you save the resampled file as appropriate floating point file.
As I said: if you don’t change the bit depth.
64 bit float to 32 bit float excluded. Anyway not between floating point types. When I export with wavelab i decide sample rate and bit depth.
Working with a montage e.g. 48kHz and 24 bit i can export to 44 1 kHz 24 bit with no dithering.
thanks alot to all, so my files are
48 khz 24 bit
and i would like to convert to
44.1 khz 24 bit
i set these settings in Wavelab (i read that Foobar2000 and Audacity might be destructible?) so I thought why not use my Wavelab Pro License 
and I read that if you convert to a new sample rate that PITCH, SPEED and can be altered.
Don’t need dithering.According with that picture you’re gonna export with a new sample rate with no problems. The pitch change happens if you play an original sample rate in a project with a different sample rate (e.g. importing in a 44.1 kHz project a 48 kHz file) but Cubase and Wavelab prompt for it and conversion.
