One of my core principles for audio production is to record and mixdown at a high sample rate (96kHz or above) and then use a high quality SRC to downsample from the master as needed.andypryce wrote: Sat Nov 01, 2025 7:05 pm It asks if you want to convert the audio files and if yes, creates new files.
Why would you change it in mid project though?
I have two templates, 44.1 for songs and 48 for video projects and never needed to change during a project.
Rarely at the beginning if the file I received is different.
CPU usage, though, is directly related to sample rate. Double the sample rate, double the CPU. So I mix at 48kHz. This requires switching the sample rate in the song, depending on what I’m doing. It also means that I no longer have to think about my sample rate, and don’t. There is simply high-resolution source audio, and high-resolution export audio.
It also means not having to keep track of originals and copies, and swap in the original high-resolution files every time you want to switch back to a higher sample rate. If you worked the way I do in Cubase and didn’t swap in the original after changing back to 96kHz, your audio quality would suffer from the cumulative degradation of repeated resampling. Studio One makes that a non-issue.
At the time that I switched from Cubase to Studio One, Cubase had a limitation where audio could only be routed or sent to a destination channel physically to the right of the source channel in the mixer.
). No they're just demanding more unspecified "features" for the sake of it, acting as though they've been taken advantage of by the big corporate baddie because it's been 5 months since their last fix.
