Sample-rate reinterpretation planner

Preview duration and pitch changes before an audio editor reinterprets a sample-rate header.

Runs in your browser

Enter the currently interpreted rate, intended new rate and current playback duration. The sample count stays unchanged: speed is the rate ratio, duration changes inversely and pitch changes by 12 log₂ of that ratio. This planner does not read or modify audio files.

How it works

Preview duration and pitch changes before an audio editor reinterprets a sample-rate header.

r = f₂/f₁; t₂ = t₁/r; Δp = 12log₂(r)

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as resampling?

No. Proper resampling preserves duration and pitch. Reinterpretation changes playback speed; use it only when that is the intended correction.
