Default Re: Importing audio files for remix - convert or set session to match source audio?

It's OK if there's no benefit, as long as it doesn't mess anything up. It's going to be mostly just a remix, but I may want to add new parts which I would rather do at the higher bit and sampling rates.

Thanks!
Unless you're mixing audio for video there's no real reason to use 48KHz. Stick with 44.1 KHz. As far as your question - work at the imported files rate and depth. 48 KHz isn't going to give you any benefit over 44.1.
