Dumb question I'm sure...

I recorded an "audio book" on DVCAM tape at 48 and edited at same. In order to make audio CDs I must drop the rate to 44.1 but when doing this within SF6 the playback speed is reduced. I can re-render in Vegas without a hitch but would really like to know how to do this in SF6 (or SF7 if that is what it takes).

Thanks,

Peter

Peter, it sounds like you are changing the sampling rate through the FILE>PROPERTIES>FORMAT Tab. This does not change the actual sampling rate, it just changes the header information of what the file reports that it's sampling rate is, therefore you only get a change in playback speed. What you need to do, is use the PROCESS>RESAMPLE tool, and resample the file to 44.1Khz, and now it will playback at the correct speed and have the sampling rate of 44.1Khz.

Thank you very much, Brian. So simple when one knows how... Sure a lot faster than doing the Vegas re-render thing!

It's tasks like this that make Sound Forge so indispensible. :)
