Does changing sample rate change pitch?
If the system was set to a sample rate of 48 kHz and we used a 44.1 kHz audio file, the system would read the samples faster than it should. As a result, the audio would sound sped up and slightly higher-pitched.
Can you change sample rate without changing pitch?
Changing the sample rate factor at the bottom of the timeline will affect pitch & speed,,, as will changing it in 'Properties'. There are resample options in the "Process> Resample" menu as well that will not alter pitch/speed. But be sure you save or 'Save as' with the same sample rate.
Does changing sample rate affect sound quality?
The more samples you take - known as the 'sample rate' - the more closely the final digital file will resemble the original. A higher sample rate tends to deliver a better-quality audio reproduction. Sample rates are usually measured per second, using kilohertz (kHz) or cycles per second.
