I’m switching from FL studio. So, I’ve made an electronic track. Now My project sample rate is 48khz and during the export drop down I see higher sample rates and I chose 96khz. Now, i did this with bit of headroom so that I would master this separately and i was encountered with a question of what sample rate should the project be at this stage and seeing this, I’ve got some questions.
- During the initial export i mentioned, does the track truly export in 96khz or just the 48khz file resampled to 96khz where there is no change in quality?
- If I load a 96khz file in a project with 48khz set as sample and choose resample to project settings then, when i export the track to 96khz again like for example a bit of loudness mastering, will the original 96khz track be used or the resampled 48khz in the final export?
I hope y’all understand what i mean because things are different in terms of export settings in FL studio and i need some clarification in this. Tnx in adv.
Your project is 48. Is pointless exporting at 96. You can export at whatever you like though, they are not linked to the project in any way.
If you load a 96 into a 48 project Cubase will convert it to 48. Unless you tell it not to.
Advice. Set project to 48/24 Export at 48/24
24/48for the win, always
- There’s a check box in the render settings: you can either render at the project rate then convert to the target rate, or render at the target rate. I urge caution with the second option however: some plugins sound different at higher rates, and not necessarily better.
- Not sure what you mean by ‘choose to resample’: Reaper just does that automatically right? Anyway, if a clip is being converted to the project rate, and then the project rate changes to match it, Reaper will simply stop converting that clip.
