rate for capturing audio and for sequences that you create in the project. You can change the
sample rate for individual sequences and audio clips.
When you are using some Avid input/output hardware devices, you can also control how your
Avid editing application handles audio sample rate conversion during capture.

Option Description
Never When this option is set, your Avid editing application displays a
warning message if the sample rate of the incoming media does not
match the project sample rate. This is the default option.
The Never option is useful when capturing from different sources. The
system reminds you that the material that you are capturing is at a
different sample rate than the project. Then you can decide whether to
convert the audio to match the project sample rate or change the project
sample rate to match the incoming audio.
