Here’s the problem: A recording originally mastered for CD is now meant to be released on a high-resolution platform. As the WL-Audiomontage is rather complicated, it would be insane to rebuild it in a higher samplerate. I tried changing the Audiomontage-properties to 96 k, but as the clips don’t get converted that way, replacing them with the 96 k versions results in “incorrect” cliplengths.
The “save as” or “save special” options also don’t seem to give me the right options, neither does the rendering-dialog!
Thanx PG, but that ain’t what I’m talking about. Doing like you said, I can’t carry the original Audiomontage over to the new samplerate. But that is what I need! Because the new mixes are in another sampelrate but need to be mastered exactly the same as for the CD. With all it’s fades, volume-automation etc. pp.
So I can only pray there’s a solution for doing so. In Pro Tools there is, but the mastering session is Wavelab.
Yeah Philippe, I know. But all information about original cliplengths, fades, volume-automation etc. is lost. Or at least I don’t know a way to preserve those informations needed.
Sorry, there is no build in function for this. All time information inside the montage, are relative to the montage sample rate.
You could change the montage sample rate, then close the montage, then resample the audio files. When reopening the montage, you will have to adjust some envelope points and positions. You will keep effects and other settings. Better than nothing.
Sad it doesn’t work this time, great you noted it for a future version. I think when mastering with WL, this could be a returning issue, as unfortunately we sometimes don’t know what kind of requests we might get in the future for a project given.
Dear Philippe! With the company, that want’s to release the 96 k-Version of the CD, I managed to convince them to move the release date. I tried everything possible so far, to convert the WL-session to the new Samplerate, but with no success. The problem is, that even if I would like to “rebuild” a one-to-one version in 96 k, that seems to be an almost impossible task, as even all the time-informations are wrong in the new session (still referring to 44.1 k).
So if there is any chance, there will be a WL update for this problem in the near future, I’d be very, very grateful!
I thought the problem was that positions and offsets in the montage are stored in terms of samples, not time, and therefore would all need conversion along with the sample rate; but I could be wrong, of course…
