Plug-in to solve hardware/software sampling conflict

Post by ckbraman »

I own a MOTU 8pre that I recently used to record the audio portion of videotaping of several bands at a sampling rate of 48000. At one point the connection was lost between my 8pre and my laptop and I had to reboot; unnoticed by me, when I rebooted, my software (Adobe Audition) reset its sampling rate to 44100, so that thereafter my hardware was sampling at 48000 while my software was simultaneously sampling at 44100. The resulting sound files has a clicking noise and are warbled; when magnified, the sound waves have an amplitude that alternates between high and low for every other wave.

Does anyone know of any software or software plug-ins that can correct such files; or any companies or specialists that have the ability to correct such files; or any place I could turn to for help in at least improving in some kind of way the files?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, once you've recorded that noise theres nothing you can do to fix it. Its as there as any other sound that would have been recorded intentionally.

i'm using an 8pre with audition too and i'm having trouble. my 8 tracks stop recording one at a time after about three minutes. you mentioned setting the sample rate to 48000 is best? i think mine was at 44.1

if you have any other words of wisdom, i'm all ears. thanks
