48k sr / 44.1 clock How do I fix the clock rate?? 

Hey there... Here's my story... I did a session at a studio that, unbeknownst to me, used word clock for house sync while I assumed video sync. I started a new session set up for 16 bit / 48 k. and did a full day of recording VO's. On the second day of recording I ran a clock on some of the files and learned that they were all running long compared to the times I was given in the edit window. After poking around I found learned the horror. Is there any way to convert these files to believe they were recorded with a 48 k. clock so the pitch will be correct. The files with timing troubles will have to be compressed. I don't want to do a rig to rig transfer and rename all the files if I don't have to. thanks

Yes you arn't the first one to do this. The fix is to create a session at the sample rate the files are really at (ie 48) import the files that think they are 44.1. PT will give you an alert that the sample rate is wrong and tell you that they will play at thr wrong speed, say OK. Once they are in this session "export" them. They will now be 48k files that think they are 48k files. I'm not sure if this still works in PT 6.x since it may convert them on import?? I can't remember, but it works in 5.x.

thanks the the input but I have the reverse problem... my files are already 48k but recored into a time frame of 44.1k so exporting the files as 48 k only keeps them as 48k rate with the same incorrect 44.1 clock rate. In other words there are 3,900 extra samples in each second. Hard to explain but the best I could do. any other ideas??

You could use a time compression/ expansion plugin.... Pitch & Time or Speed. If you do the file import, you should encounter pitch issues. It's as if you recorded with VSO on. The other way is to recreate your clocking problem and do a transfer. TL

So reverse the 44.1 and 48 in my post. It works either way. You have files that think they are one sample rate and are really another. All you really want to do is change the header info. So bring them into a session that is what they really are and they will play back corectly. Export them from that session and they will now be and think the same sample rate and your good to go.
