Hi all -
New here, so hopefully this is the appropriate place to pose this issue and question.
TL;DR:
- Reaper project with multiple-sample-rate media
- Need to move to ProTools 48K session, with AATranslator. (works great, except media not at 48k plays off-speed)
- How to pre-flight the project in Reaper so all media is converted to conform to 48K, in-place on the timeline?
Some attempts:
Convert SR in place: ??
- find somehow a section with media <>48K. Select.
- "Render Items as New Take"
- "Crop to Active Take"
Issues?
- How to "detect" and navigate to any non-48k media in project? (It's all interspersed)
- "render" appears to commit any processing, but I'm not clear which processing this might refer to.
- might it be fine to do same process to entire timeline?
Also tried:
- Attempted a "save copy in, with media" but not seeing any way to set sample rate for output.
Have not yet tried (will it work?)
- SRC'ing the source audiofiles, and seeing if I can get project to link to these instead of originals. FFMPEG script proposed by Mike (of AAT fame) pasted below.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

PS - A bit of background:
I'm mainly a Pro Tools person, and in the process of learning Reaper. I have a radio doc to mix in Pro Tools (have to mix there, we're talking 20,000 hours experience vs about 10 hours with Reaper)
The doc is cut in Reaper w/ media at multiple sample rates.
I've done a test transfer with AAT and so far so good, except for off-speed clips in cases where media is not 48k.
FFMPEG script
for conversion in-place to 48K (watch that you work on a backup of the files)
Batch (.bat) File example (you will have to edit the paths to audiofiles and ffmpeg) (presumably portable to shell script on mac)
=========================
for %%f in ("h:\vb\aatranslate\*.wav") do (
echo %%f
c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg -y -i %%f -ar 48000 %%f
)

Reason: added ffmpeg script
