How do I change the sample rate to 44.1kHz?

[tayrod4594]

I realize this is probably a very simple thing and I'm just too much of a noob to have figured it out, but alas, here we are. I need to convert .wav files to .mp3 files with these specific parameters:

• measure between -23dB and -18dB RMS
• have -3dB peak values and a max -60dB noise floor
• 192kBps
• CBR 44.1kHz

There are some other requirements as well but I have figured out literally everything but the CBR. How do I set things up in freac to encode at that CBR? I've been tearing my hair out over this and I am desperate for some help. Please and thank you!

P.S. I have .freac v.1.1.6, I don't know if that makes a difference.

P.S.

As the OP, you can edit your original post to include more information:

1. Click the horizontal ellipsis (3 horizontal dots: …) in the upper-right corner of your OP
2. select Edit
3. make constructive changes to the text
4. when finished editing, click the green Update Post (or similar, I forget exactly)

I don't know if that makes a difference.

Citing relevant information, such as which version you're using, is sensible.

The CBR actually belongs to the 192 kbps line. It means Constant Bit Rate, ie. the bitrate will be 192 kbps for the whole file and not adapt to quality requirements. This can be configured in the LAME encoder setttings. Choose Custom settings and then select CBR and a bitrate of 192 kbps:

A sample rate conversion to 44.1 kHz can be configured in the Processing settings in the configuration dialog. On the Processing page, enable the Sample Rate Converter component:

Then click Configure component and set the Output sampling rate to 44.100 Hz:

You should leave the Converter setting at Medium Sinc Interpolator or set it to Best Sinc Interpolator. The latter will be a bit slower, but provide slightly better quality
