Sampling Rate Error

[tbernier]

Just upgraded to v3, including SuperStar, but am having some difficulty with the use of SuperStar. I downloaded a song and then attempted to use it in an Instant Sequence, but when I click on "Open Audio File", at the end of the process it gives me the following error message.

Error: The audio file sampling rate is 48000. A wave file with the standard sampling rate of 44,100 is required.

Is there any way to handle this error on the LOR side, or do I really need to find a way when downloading/converting my file to do so with a sampling rate of 44,100.

Getting the same error (Error: The audio file sampling rate is 48000. A wave file with the standard sampling rate of 44,100 is required) when I try to open a MP3 file to auto sequence. Do I need to convert all MP3's to wav? Have tried loading using Ctrl-I and also load thru edit, but still get the same message. Please help.

Audacity
or some other audio editing software.

File already run through audacity for constant bit rate at 128

Sent a copy of the file to Brian at his request.

Pardon my ignorance but how would I use Audacity to modify the sampling rate? I have opened my file in Audacity and found a Sampling Rate setting under Preferences, but it already said 41,000 and no matter what I try, the exported version continues to report the same error that it has a sampling rate of 48000. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

UPDATE: Disregard this post...I figured it out!!! Found a couple different places where you needed to set the sample rate for the project, save and then export, and it worked just fine. Thanks everyone for the input re: use of Audacity.
