Conversion Quality
The Conversion Quality Preference determines
the quality of sample rate conversion used when
converting and importing audio into a session.
There are five possible settings, ranging from
Low to Tweak Head. The higher the quality, and
the larger the conversion, the longer it will take.
To set the sample rate conversion quality:
1 Choose Setups > Preferences, and click Edit-
ing.
2 From the Conversion Quality pop-up menu,
select a quality setting.
For most applications, the Good or Better set-
ting will yield very good results.
3 Click Done.
