Title: Fixing Wav file at wrong sample rate
Post by: thoman8r on March 06, 2004, 01:54:44 PM

Ok,

So I'm converting Lee's Pat McGee tape and I didn't realize he recorded @ 48 khz.  So when the file transferred to my computer, it thinks it's a 44.1 khz wav file when in fact its not.  It WASN'T resampled.  The problem is with the metadata, not the music itself (if that makes sense).  I can go into soundforge and one of the Resampling options is "Set the sample rate Only (do not resample)."  If I do this, everythings seems to be fine.

My question, is this safe practice, or do I need to retransfer the entire tape again?

you dont need to retransfer, i have the same software and all it does is change the header and metadata, no worries hear, you just changing the information regarding the file, not the actual samples present

That's what I figured, just thought I'd double check.

+T for the info.
