Recently updated to Audacity 3.3.3 for windows
The order by which files are imported matters…??
To try out as a simple test…set project rate at 44100 samples per sec.
Generate a simple tone 441 HZ, length 1 sec., this gives 100 samples per cycle at 44100 rate.
Play tone and check it plays 441 Hz, and screen shows playing at 44100 on screen.
Export this as wav file at 44100.
Then in order to export it again this time as wav at 48000…do…
Change project rate to 48000, check it still plays at 441 Hz but shows playing at 48000 on bottom of screen and track still shows 44100 rate and track wave still has 100 samples in each cycle. Now export it as wav file at 48000.
Then close Audacity and open again. All settings should be back again to project 44100 rate.
Now import the 48000.wav, track1 reads 48000 rate and plays at 441 Hz and shows 48000 at bottom screen and track1 wave has 109 samples per cycle.
Now import as 2nd track the 44100.wav, track2 reads 44100 rate and plays at 441 HZ and shows playing at 48000 at bottom of screen and track2 wave has 109 samples per cycle. Both play together in tune at 441 Hz. showing playing at 48000 rate.
Now close Audacity and open again. All settings should be back again to project 44100 rate.
Then import the 44100.wav, track1 reads 44100 rate and plays at 441 Hz and shows 44100 at bottom screen and track1 wave has 100 samples per cycle.
Now import as 2nd track the 48000.wav, track2 reads 48000 rate and plays at 441 HZ and shows playing at 44100 at bottom of screen and track2 wave has 100 samples per cycle. Both play together in tune at 441 Hz. showing playing at 44100 rate.
Is this behaviour intentional or is it a “Bug”… and why…??
