hi

i don't know but i have audition cc 2018 & 2015 and when i import a file i miss always the fade out icon

i fix it only creating a multi track with sample rate 48000

now my question , i work mostly with flac files (mostly @صفحتي علي ادوبي.1  ripped from cd ) and other audio like mp3 or mp4 (many of them have a sample rate of 44.1)

when i drag my 44.1 audio on the multi track with sample rate 48000 i got this warning

now my question  ?

outside mp3 or mp4 lossy format , but i work with flac too , when i Mixdown section to a new file or export multitrack   @ 44.1 (because i have to burn )

1)

do I commit a big mistake i term of degraded audio ?

2)

working with flac audio @صفحتي علي ادوبي.1 import to a multitrack session with sample rate @48000 and after re-sample at 44.1 , do I lose audio quality ,audio frequency ?

thanks

Ps

Windows 10 pro 64bit

sorry for my poor english

Audition's sample rate conversion is the best there is - that's been independently verified some years ago. That said, if you are going to do sample rate conversions, you really should, however it works out, only do them once. So if you have a flac file at 48k and you want to put it in a 44.1k session, then ideally you do the sample rate conversion first. But it doesn't actually matter if you let it happen automatically in a multitrack session - it's only doing what you would have done anyway. The only difference is that it uses automated settings, rather than letting you choose them.

So if you want to burn the results to a CD, then have the session as a 44.1k one. If you need the result for anything else as a 48k file, then sample-rate convert the final mixdown file back, as you'll be sample-rate converting your actual mix, which is presumably what you need.

The inherent quality loss in MP3 or MP4 files is way greater than any loss you get in sample-rate conversion.

    hi

    may i ask a question?

    i want to convert several audio files ,mp3 ,mp4 and flac with audition cc to burn on a cd

    i don't know what mp3 or mp4 encoder/decoder does it use audition cc

    in the past i have always used foobar to convert mp3 /mp4 and flac to wave 44.1 /16bit

    but seeing

    Audition's sample rate conversion is the best there is - that's been independently verified some years ago.

    i will use audition batch process

    might you please tell me which settings should i use to have the best output

    Hang on a minute - I said sample rate conversion, and MP3 decoding doesn't come into that at all. In fact, you don't get a choice with Audition - there is only one MP3 decoder, and that's the legal Fraunhofer one that they pay a license for. You decode your MP3 files to 44.1k Stereo wav files, and that's what you have to burn to a CD if you want to play it as audio.

    If for some reason you end up with 32-bit files from the decode, then the option you need to convert these is the third one down in the list - the one with triangular dither. You absolutely don't want 'no dither', and the adaptive noise shaping one confers no significant benefits, and has one huge downside if you're converting a lot of tracks, and that is that it's inevitably very slow to calculate and apply.

    Hi , I got it

    what program do you use to decode flac , mp3(moslty are 48K)  and other formats to wave 44.1k ?

    and if i may ,what format do you use when you work with audition cc flac?

    thank you
