If I shoot using my XL2 set with the sound on 16- bit 48 kHz and collect backup sound on a Mini disc which records sound at 44.1 kHz, am I likely to run into any problems when mixing in the editing or if I should submit my film for broadcast etc ?

Hi Joe. Shouldn't be a big deal, but if your NLE doesn't like you mixing sample rates, it's quite easy to convert the 44.1 to 48 without any apparent quality loss. I normally use Sound Forge or Vegas for this, but I think there are freebie sample rate converters available for download.

There should not be any impact on the final output format as this will be rendered anyway.

Thanks for the advice Richard,I thought it would probably work ok,buts its always good to get a second oppinion from someone who is familier with the proccess.Joe
