Help! Session tracked in different sample rate, now my tracks are all sped up

[tropicoblvd]

My band managed to get songs tracked at a studio, unfortunately, the intern messed up and left in the internal clock at 48k while everything was opened, tracked, and set to 44.1k. Now when I open the sessions everything is sped up and pitched up by an odd number of semitones. Even tho this was the studio's fault, I can't go back and fix it since it was recorded while we were on tour and won't likely return there again. Also, I tried opening the files in a new session set to 44.1k and that didn't work.

Since everything was OPENED and TRACKED in the first place at 44.1k, PT can't change it since the file says that they're 44.1 when they're in fact at 48k because of the universal clock was set that way.

Is there any way to set these back in the right framerate, even tho the files "say" they're already 44.1k?

I tried multiple things--opening files in a new session set to 44.1k, importing them, even bouncing it as 32k just to see what happens.

I have a Macbook Pro, latest OS, using PT12. I use this primarily for editing and such, but we cannot move forward in recording until we resolve this and the pitch is such that you can't really tune an instrument to it and I don't want to manually slow down the files in case of file and sound corruption.

If anyone out there has dealt with is before please advise, I'm grasping at straws here. Please help.

Create a new session at 48kHz.

Import session data from the original session, select all the tracks - make sure convert sample rate is NOT selected.

That should trick Pro Tools in to thinking it is importing 44.1kHz samples, but play them back at 48kHz.

Exactly this. Done the same thing myself (left the external clock... luckily the mixing session was me on my own... so I listened back on another device and realised!)

Don't feel bad I think everyone has done this at least once!

I have a strip of florescent green tape on the front of my rack that reads
"SYNC CLOCK DUMMY!"
Follow the above advise it will fix you right up!

Pro Tools could and should have safeties built in (warning messages etc.) to prevent this from happening. Avid take notes!

I had this issue with my QU-32 because the sample rate was 48 and my tracks were 44.1. Simply create a new session and import the tracks and use the conversion check box if I recall correctly. Worked like a charm for me. If its only one track I think you can just use the similar option to import just the one. Then save it and you should be done. dont forget to import all the audio options.
