Default Sample rate conversion?

I have an audio file at 44.1, but my session is at 48k. If I import the 44.1 audiofile into my 48k session, the track is higher in pitch.
I need to find a way IN por tools to convert this file, import audio does not give me this option. Must I convert BEFORE is import into pro tools or can I convert the file another easier way WITHIN protools without having to do anything like save copy in etc....
Thanks

Pro Tools for sure can do the sample rate conversion on import.

What Pro Tools version are you using? Are you sure your clocking is correct?

Hope this helps.

He needs to sample rate convert and change the speed back to that of the orignal 48k session! (yes it looks like he had a clocking problem when this file was recorded!) simply importing back into PT will not adjust the speed!!

He does indeed need barbabatch or similar! or record the file onto a second recording device via analogue i/o then import it back into PT at 48k

If that's the case, Chris, you're right!

Either Barbabatch, or recording the file analog at the wrong clocking and then recording it back at the right clocking.

I'm fairly certain that you can use the "Import Session" dialog box to fix the problem. There is the Apply SRC option, which one checked, allows you to tell Pro Tools what the source file sample rate is. If the file was improperly tagged at a different speed, you can basically "lie" to PT and tell it a different sample rate. Post guys use this all time to back out of problem situations.

well, all he says is he has a 48 session and wants to import a 44.1 file. No muck ups, he just wants to import a file thats a different sample rate. SRC will deal with it. He says that the file plays faster - because hes not applying SRC. Not that it was wrong in the first place.

But PT automatically sample rate converts the file on import unless you just add it. So if he converted it on import but its the wrong pitch then it points to a previous clocking problem. He should confirm whether he added or converted the file on import.
