The Sample Rate Conversion Quality setting determines the quality of sample rate conversion used when converting and importing audio into a session. It can also applied when exporting files at different sample rate and when bouncing to disk. There are five possible settings, ranging from
Low (fastest, but lowest quality) to
Tweak Head (highest quality, but slowest). The higher the quality of sample rate conversion you choose, the longer Pro Tools will take to process the audio file.
The Sample Rate Conversion Quality options are available in the Import Audio, the Import Session Data, the Export Clips as Files, and the Bounce to Disk dialogs. In each case, the
Sample Rate Conversion Quality setting is local to that specific dialog. The
Sample Rate Conversion Quality preference only applies to conversion on import by drag and drop.
2 From the Sample Rate Conversion Quality pop-up menu, select a quality setting. For most applications, the
Good or
Better setting will yield very good results.
