Changing the Audio Properties

You can change the sample rate and bit resolution of audio files.

Changing these values does not process the audio file in any way (in contrast to using Save As). However, the following rules apply:

  • If you change the sample rate, the file plays back at a new pitch.

  • If you change the bit resolution, the file is converted to the new resolution the next time you save it.

Note

There is no undo for this. If you save a file with a lower bit resolution, the file is converted permanently.

Procedure

  1. In the Audio Editor, open an audio file.
  2. Select the File tab.
  3. Click Info.
  4. In the Audio Properties section, specify a new Sample Rate and/or Bit Resolution.
  5. Click Apply Changes.
