Vegas 5 user here. I have a project with many audio tracks recorded at 48kHz, 24 bit. This is the project file setting. I imported a new .wav file into the project, but that one was 44.1kHz, 16 bit.
I dragged the new 44.1/16 file from the Media Pool to the timeline to create a new track with the new file's event. Pretty simple stuff that I know I've done millions of times. However, when I played the project, the 16 bit file sounded crackled or slightly gapped. It sounded like a low bit rate "sizzle." However, when I opened the 44.1/16 file in the Trimmer, selected all of the content and dragged the selection to the timeline, the new file sounded fine.
Anyone have any ideas about why this is occurring? I shouldn't have to do the Trimmer step, should I?
If it helps to understand, recently I found that recording directly into SoundForge at 44.1/16 makes the same noise upon playback. If I record 48kHz 24 in SoundForge, it sounds fine.
I haven't changed any hardware or hardware configurations.
