Re: Lossy after pitch correction

Just to add something… when I say changing the samplerate tag doesn't alter the audio, I meant it is a completely reversible process. If you change the 44100 tags to 45864 and then back to 44100, you end up back to the original 44100 file. It's just changing the rate in which the file is telling the software to play it at. When I make adjustments, I always keep a copy like this- say the 45864 file. Because you can always go back and make further adjustments without changing the actual audio. There is no need to increase bit-depth with this process. All you would be doing is adding blank bits at the bottom and maybe even dither noise if your software is setup to do that (as I believe Audacity is by default). You want to keep the audio at the original bit-depth and certainly not add any dither. If you do it right, the tags can always been changed back to the 100% original file. If audio checksum isn't the same as the original file after doing this, you did something wrong.
