Tone1k Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hi all, First post here and what a great resource this site is! I've done a search but can't seem to come up with much at all on my issue. So, I accidentally recorded an interview for a documentary yesterday at 24bit/96khz instead of 48khz. I'm about to hand over the files to the production company and was thinking I'd like to convert all the clips to 48khz to make their life easier in post (Avid MC) and preserve my reputation (I'm a relative newb to the audio side of things) with the post facility/producers by not making things harder for them than they need to be. My question is, is it worth doing or am I worrying about nothing? If it is worth doing , what software is out there that will do the job while also also preserving all other aspects of the file such as TC, Metadata, file names etc....? Thanks.

Rick Reineke Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'd just send them the 96k files.. I'm not sure, but I recall SD's free 'Wave Agent' can re-sample. FWIW, I use Sound Forge Pro which has the iZotope SRC, but I'm not sure if it forks up the meta data, since I've never had to re-sample a BWF.

Mobilemike Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 If you have access to a Pro Tools system it's very easy to do on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Rose Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sound Grinder is a fast and powerful batch conversion utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone1k Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks all for the suggestions. I think ill offer to convert the files if they have issues with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 It will be easy for them, which doesn't mean they won't bitch about it Tell them that you thought the interview was SO important that it deserved to be recorded at a higher SR.

resonate Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 TwistedWave for Mac can do batch resampling very well, and is also a very capable editor. There is also an online version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouke Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 If you can live with HQ downsampling and stripping the BEXT / iXML metadata, Sox can do this just as well. I've made a simple Automator app that does this. (Assuming you have Sox in your Applications folder.) Get Sox here:download SOX Then, unzip and place Sox into your applications folder. get the downconvert app here Unzip, place the app 'somewhere', and drop Wave files on it. The params as set are good for downconverting, but the app. will eat anything .wav and make it 48K (Oh, it's free, my work was just a few lines to automate, the real work is done by the nice people who make Sox.) hth, Bouke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also does a great job of preserving metadata on export. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
