There you have it- problem identified, investigated, and somewhat solved? If anyone at Avid happens upon this it would be great to fix this odd bug. Although I can deliver mp3 files at 320kbps, that's both a larger file size, as well as out-of-spec with several clients' delivery specs who request 48 kHz 192 or 256 kbps mp3 files. It would be great if some of you might try the same test and verify my results.
It was only when the bit rate was set at 320 kbps that the resulting mp3 file was created at the intended 48kHz sample rate. Once I discovered that it worked, I tried EVERY other bit rate (256, 192, 128, etc.)- but every time the result was a 44.1 kHz mp3 file. I happened upon this when I followed the suggestion to optimize, trash preferences, and re-install (which although it ultimately didn't solve my issue, it is a good practice every now and again). And easily navigate large, complex scores using the timeline. Add notational elements, dynamics, custom symbols, and text. Enter notes from the onscreen notation, keyboard, or fretboard windows, or from your MIDI keyboard.
I appreciate you all joining me in this discussion! And I have some interesting news.we were ALL right! How you might ask? Well.I did a whole bunch of testing and apparently (at least on my system), Pro Tools can indeed output a 48kHz mp3 file.but ONLY at 320 kbps. Sibelius Ultimate features a task-based interface that leads you through the entire score creation process.
I've tried Bounce to Disk with a wav at 48kHz while ticking the "Add MP3" box- the wav comes out at 48kHz but the mp3 is 44.1kHz.ĭoes anybody here know if, in fact, Pro Tools is incapable of exporting mp3 files in anything other than 44.1kHz sample rate? And why in the world would that be the case? For now I'm using iTunes to do a batch convert of the wavs to mp3 with 48kHz and it works like a charm.but why would the world's leading audio software company not be able to do this seemingly simple task? There is currently no Finale support for this. Live recording from your MIDI keyboard (note input during score playback) requires Dorico or Sibelius 2019.4/higher. But it also means that you can’t use ReWire technology with NotePerformer. I've tried to export 48kHz wav files using "Export clips as files" as mp3 files with 48kHz selected from the pull-down menu, but the resulting file is 44.1. This is the secret to how we’re able to analyse the musical context of your score. Really needs to be fixed once and for all." On many systems (if not all) it's impossible to bounce a 48 kHz mp3 from PT regardless of the session sample rate, the bounce sample rate, or the format chosen. I work in post production and regularly send MP3 'work in progress' updates to my clients/colleagues, and it seems a bit unnecessary that files would be down sampled at my end to 44.1kHz, and then upsampled at the receivers end back to 48kHz!" "On multiple systems I have observed that when exporting or bouncing files, selecting 48kHz multiple mono on the bounce/export options page results in 44.1kHz files being encoded.
I've searched far and wide for an answer to this and found only 1 reference on a random website from 5 years ago.
