That's true. As you noted, the available off-line software tools are
pretty good to convert even between 48 and 44.1 kHz. Certainly, this
part of the test procedure was not the problem. The dramatic
distortion must have been introduced by the poor conversion
somewhere in the real-time signal flow. Generally, it should be no
serious problem to convert from 48 to 44.1 kHz for a CD production,
as long as it is done off-line. You will have all the time of the
world for this kind of conversion and the software doing that is not
extremely expensive.
