How To Keep Sample Rate From Changing? – Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum

I think best method might be to make all projects in various daws the same sample rate.
– I’ve had some old projects in 44k and converted all to 48k for this reason

Some daws when I changed setting to another sample rate than loaded project I got a dialog asking if to convert all audio.
– some do not ask, and you have to enter setting and change samplerate manually, and then getting a dialog if to convert project audio.
– some daws like Reaper never ask, it just resample in realtime

I have had really poor result historically running two different sample rates at the same time.
– I got very bad sounding sample rate conversions that was audible how bad it was

I’ve had that if having Windows Sound active, you could get a MessageBeep that were 44k while running a asio project at 48k, and suddenly got slow speed in daw.
– so turned off all sounds from system popping up dialogs etc to remedy that

Then finally why you need 2 daws running at the same time, is another thing to ask yourself?
– most common is to maybe have a video streamed over internet at the same time as daw runs

Since this is a nuissance for you, I mean
– either convert projects
– or continue this habit

Best chance running two sample rates at the same time is using different protocols
– asio on one and wdm on the other
