Hi,

I recorded sounds at 192Khz sample rate for a sound effect project to slow it down without losing sound quality.

So i created a song in Studio One with a 44,1Khz sample rate and imported my 192Khz files witch should play slowly and so pitched down.

But Studio One automatically converted the 192Khz files in 44,1Khz witch is very convinient most of the time exept for my use right now.

Is there a option to disable the sample rate conversion ?

Many thanks

I think it needs to perform the conversion so that the audio engine only has to deal with one sample rate.

Would it be possible to perform the slow down process at 192 (in a separate process or tool) and then bring the files into S1?

Thank you for your answer,

It's strange Studio One doesn't ask  if you want to convert the file to the song sample rate or import and "sync" the file samples to the Song sample rate.

Too bad, that's a one click process in softwares like Cubase and Pro Tools...
But I like much more Studio One's workflow and interface so i'll do as you suggested in a separate software and bring back the files in Studio One.

Thank you ;)
