Convert 96kHz to 48Khz by stretching audio

Post by surena » Sat Sep 04, 2021 7:30 am

How can I convert my sample ate by stretching the audio file? So If my project sample rate is set at 96kHz and I stretch out my audio file, it will still have the same sample rate because of the interpolation that happens when stretching the audio. How can I avoid this interpolation? I want to achieve high quality stretched audio by recording at 96kHz but I do not want any interpolation happening when I double up the length of my audio clip.

Are you wanting a pitch shifted effect or do you just need high quality recorded audio.


If you want pitch shift, I would guess using resample mode would work. 96 to 48 is just a simple divide by 2 so I would think even a bad SRC could do fine. Mainly by halfing the tempo in resample mode, you would be going from 96 to 48.

If you need standard audio conversions, Ableton should do it with no issues. The issue comes up when going from 96 to 44.1 which is not a whole integer multiple. That said I think Ableton even fixed that issue now or at least work a lot better.
