How does Pro Tools handle sample rate changes when importing or bouncing between sessions?

• A. Pro Tools asks you to manually convert the files when changing sample rate.
• B. Pro Tools cannot change sample rate between sessions.
• C. Pro Tools performs sample rate conversion automatically to the target rate; ensure the destination rate is supported.
• D. Pro Tools ignores sample rate differences and keeps the original rate.

Answer: (C)

When you import audio from a session with a different sample rate or bounce to a different rate, Pro Tools automatically resamples to the target rate using its built-in sample rate converter. This means the audio is converted to match the session’s (or destination’s) rate so playback stays synchronized, without you having to do manual conversion. The key is that the destination rate must be a rate that Pro Tools and your hardware support; if not, you’d need to choose a supported rate or adjust the session settings.
