rabukel Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I switched from USB interface to Dante network and Dante Via only allows sampling rates of 48kHz. Since I've worked in Sonar at 44kHz so far, I now have to change all of my projects. With an audio converter I converted over 1000 wave files from 44kHz to 48kHz in a patch process. In Sonar Preferences for New Projects I have also changed the sampling rate to 48000Hz. If I now load an existing project with the converted wave files, all waves are cut off at the end or set to silence. The file length is retained. If I replace the same file manually via Import audio, the track is displayed and played correctly. So it's not because of the wave file, it is displayed and played correctly in every other player. I need your help because I don't want to manually replace all files in over 200 projects. Thank you, Georg. In the picture I have manually imported the same file in track 11 as in track 10.

scook Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 As you have discovered simply changing sample rates is not enough. Here is the documented process for changing a project's sample rate (probably not what you want to read). In short, the step to create track 11 is part of the process.

rabukel Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks for the answer. This is not the solution I was hoping for. It will be impossible for me to replace all wave files individually in over 200 projects. What is the difference when Cakewalk loads a project with the associated wave files, or I add the same files manually. In any case, Cakewalk plays the project immediately after opening it, without an error message changed sampling rate. Only the problem that the tracks no longer contain any sound at the end.

rabukel Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 I think you didn't understand my question. Why doesn't Cakewalk load the wave files when loading the project in the same way as when importing the audio manually? Can someone from the developers confirm that this has to be the case, or is there a bug? Thank you, Georg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It is not a bug. When a clip is added to a project, data about the clip is stored in the project. Changing the sample rate of a clip already referenced in the project does not cause the DAW to alter this data. In addition to the problem illustrated above, changing clip sample rates without import breaks audio snap. AFAIK, improved project sample rate change is on the "to do" list.
