Sample Rate
The project sample rate determines the number of samples per second Soundtrack Pro
uses for audio playback and export. When you add audio files to your project, their sample
rate is matched (upsampled or downsampled) on the fly to the project sample rate with
no change to their pitch or file duration. The available sample rates are 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz,
48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, and 192 kHz. The default is 48 kHz, which is the
standard for digital video and DVD projects.
Note: When creating a soundtrack for a video, be sure you save and export your project
at the same sample rate the final video project will use.
