48k audio??

i recorded a show and by mistake i set the setting to record on wav at 48k. Now all my files are all wav files (48k)

would it be allright if i just convert them from a 48k wav file straight to a FLAC file using traders little helper?

or should i convert it first to a 44k wav file and then convert to FLAC?

or is it useless because I recorded it in 48k instead of 44k and should just leave it as it is, not trade or spread it out?

Re: 48k audio??

If it's 16 bit, I'd downsample it to 44.1K to make it redbook standard.

You don't have to do it, but by making it CD-compliant you'd make it usable to more people.

Just my $.02

Re: 48k audio??

You will lose quality, but 99% of the people won't tell the difference when they listen to it. I'm running into the same issue right now since I am archiving my DAT masters recorded at 16bit 48hz.

I suggest saving a straight 48khz "clone" as a flac file and creating 44khz individual flac files for CD burning. That way in case you need one or the other you have both formats available. Memory is cheap anyway.
