Default setting the sample rate

How do you set the sample rate in reaper?

For the recording and preview, you do it in the audio configuration.

For rendering, you do it in the render dialog.

For what it's worth, REAPER doesnt have the notion of a "project" samplerate-- rather, it uses the audio hardware's native rate for preview and recording, and resamples to whatever you choose for rendering..

If I set my soundcard (RME HDSP 9652) to "master" It will take the samplerate specified by the audio app it is running at the moment. It seems rather frightening not to have a project samplerate

it's not so frightening, I think it's neat. I have hdsp9632 card, so here is the solution: click on hamerfall setting icon, go to the dds tab, activate dds and then set the desired samplerate. Of course, download latest drivers if you haven't got that tab in drivers. Do that when no program is acessing the card.

I just downloaded manual for 9652, and it seems that it haven't got that feature. It can just receive samplerate from software or from external clock sources.

I'm sorry to see that. On my card I have a DDS tab to set clock to almost any samplerate. But my card have internal AD/DA converter, I think that why this feature is present in 9632 and Fireface version of driver. 9652 is pure digital interface, so DDS setting may present more problems than benefits for other digital equipment and syncronisation.

I'm sure in future versions of Reaper this issue will be overcomed. Can you set samplerate from external AD/DA?

So you're using ASIO right? I'm sure there's a way to request ASIO samplerate, I'll see..

You guys OK with it being a configuration option, as opposed to a project setting?

Good question. Id probably rather it be a project setting, but I could be alone.

If it were a project setting I could always look at project properties or whatever and see what it was supposed to be, then not worry that Im set to record at the wrong samplerate

If it were a configuration, but had a good warning somewhere I shouldnt be scared either

I agree that it would be better as a Project setting.

One of my cards is an RME Digi 96/52 and its default behaviour is to take the sample rate from whatever is controlling it at the time.

If the sample rate was embedded in the Project you could open a saved Project and the card would be ready to go.

If it's in the configuration, you'd need to manually set this for each Project, and still have some way to show/remember what the rate was for each saved Project.

Cheers,

Malcolm.

Hi Justin,

At first glance it seems to work ok with my Digi 96, but I'll need to do some more testing.

What's the difference now between the "Project Sample Rate", and the "Request Sample Rate" function in the audio device options?

Cheers,

Malcolm.

The project sample rate overrides the "Request sample rate" in the preferences... i.e.:


if a project sample rate is enabled, try to use it
otherwise, if in asio mode and request samplerate is set, try to use it
otherwise, use the current asio sample rate

if you drag in a file thats not the project sample rate it will still resample and play at the right speed right?
