problem getting sampleclock set right

[gonzo]

Hello--
I am running Cubase LE 4, and I am using it to mix and edit wave files
created on a couple of Zoom recorders (the H-2 and the H-4). I
transferred the wave files from the H-2 (which were recorded at 96kHz)
from the unit to my PC, and then when I try to load them into Cubase
to edit them, I get an error that the sample rate cannot be changed
due to the sampleclock being set to external sync. It then wants me
to convert the files to 44.1 before it loads them into the project.
It looks to me like the sync is already set to internal (according to
the transport panel); is there somewhere else I need to adjust
something?

Thanks,
--Stephen

The sync on the transport panel is for midi sync, not sample clock sync.

Have a look in the mixer application for your sound card and see if there
is a sync setting there.

Also, it's a good idea to set the Cubase project to 96K before importing
files, otherwise it will want to convert them.

Or he should just set the H2 to record at 44.1 KHz in the first place,
which is the better solution.
