There are some exceptions though, for example if in Sound Forge instead of using ASIO you use the Windows driver, it support dynamic sample rates. But as a rule you can't have SONAR running at one sample rate and expect to get Sound Forge to run at a different rate. SONAR has an option for sharing the audio device with other applications, it is one thing you can try. But if you then start another app and it tries to set the sample rate to 44.1khz, that will fail. So for example if you have no audio apps open and open a ASIO app and it loads a 96khz file, it will change your sample rate to 96khz. I am not talking about re-sample or stuff like that, in a nutshell, I am simply attempting to work with 24/96 format in SF.Īudioicon I am not sure I understand what you are meaning but below are steps for my process.ĪSIO tends to lock a sound card to a single sample frequency. If I try to change the Sample Rate within the settings as illustrated above it reverts. If I am opening a 24/96 File in SF, should SF be set to 24/96? I am not sure I understand what you are meaning but below are steps for my process. Now when I click the Advance tab, I can click the Configure tab to access my device Sample Rate. The screen shot below illustrates what I am talking about in regards to the Advance screen. Thank you for taking the time to respond. And would do exactly what you are describing if you try to change the sample rate to something the sound card won't let you. It sounds like you are trying to change the sample rate but your sound card isn't letting it happen.

As a result of this I run Sound Forge using the Microsoft Sound Mapper rather than ASIO, since my older Focustrites Windows driver will let Windows run at different sound rates, even when ASIO is locked everything at 48khz. But (and this is very true if you are running SONAR or another ASIO app at the same time) your sound card has to let it change the sample rate.

If you have a WAV file at one sample rate, to change it you need to use Process->Resample. Msorrels I'm using Sound Forge 9 (not upgrading till it goes 64bit) but I'm not sure what Audio->Advanced you are talking about (there is no top level menu named Audio).
