Sample rate conversion bug (?)

Postby AdamA@Gateway » Wed Sep 21, 2005 17:39

Hello,

I think I have found a bug in the 'Quick Convert' sample rate converter...When upsampling from 44.1/16 to 48k the word length seems to change to 32 bit. I have never experienced this when downsampling. Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks,
Adam A

Hi Adam,

that's not a bug. Wordlength in quick convert function is automatically set to 32 bit. No other choice.

It's not a first priority issue, but ...me too... would love to have a wordlength selection added to quick convert.

Regards,
Gerhad

Why only when upsampling? I downsample an awful lot with 24 bit files, and get 24 bit files back...not 32. Also, the User Manual states that sample rate conversions do not change bit depth...

It's Graemme's fault.

Yes I've had this. Most annoying to have to then convert the word-length back to what you wanted.

Yup, my fault entirely...

It may be annoying to some of you but it was *impossible* for me to do what I needed to do at the time.

This was a 'hack' that happened way after the maual was written...

The upcoming version 5 of Pyramix will address this issue.
