Changing the sample rate

The sample rate is the number of samples per second, measured in hertz (Hz), used to record audio. You can specify sample rates from 2,000 Hz to 192,000 Hz. Typical sample rates are stored as presets in the Sample rate drop-down list. In addition, you can increase or decrease the sample rate of an existing audio file.

1.Open and play the Voiceover.pca file. This file is located in the same folder as the application.

2.Right-click the Sample Rate status box and choose 48,000 from the shortcut menu.

3.Play the file. Notice that the pitch is higher and the duration is slightly shorter.

4.Right-click the Sample Rate status box and choose 8,000 from the shortcut menu.

Changing the sample rate of a file also changes the pitch and duration. To change the sample rate of a file while preserving its duration and pitch, use the Resample command. For more information, see Resample on page 189.
