Convert 44.1 Khz Audio To 48khz Premiere

So for my first post...I'm going to try and explain a serious mess that I've gotten myself into and can't find a way out of this wormhole.
I have a wav file that is at 44.1kHz, 16 bit that plays to the correct speed (pitch and tempo) when played at 48kHz. Is there anyway to make the song play 'correctly' at 44.1kHz without changing the pitch of the recorded material?
For the life of me I don't know how I got into this situation. I record with Nuendo and into MOTU24i/o. I use a BigBen as an external clock. When recording our church group I was recording like i've done many years ago....long story but after my wife and I had our first child 3 years ago I stopped playing and recording to spend time with them. I used to record all the time but this is my first foray into recording since he was born. SO in the past I would record 48/24 and then dither down to 16/44.1. However, in my zeal to get recording and in the time crunch of moving all my gear to the church and setting things up...I apparently had the project setup to be at 44.1kHz and 24bit. Sooo...I thought the BigBen would trump the project setup in Nuendo and that doesn't seem to be the case. So everything was clocked at 48 and recorded as wave files into the computer at 44.1. Confused yet? I am too! LOL. I seriously have no clue how I got myself into this mess.
I literally have the BigBen and MOTU set to 48kHz but all the tracks that have been recorded are at 44.1kHz and then when midown to the correct 44.1kHz, 16bit...because the BigBen was set to 48kHz everything is wrong. Its a serious wormhole that I'm lost inside.
So I do the audio mixdown/export from Nuendo and dither it down to 16/44.1 and then do a little touchup in Wavelab at the same thing 16/44.1 and then play it back on the computer. Well the computer is sync'd to the 48kHz from BigBen and it sounds FINE. Tempo, key, etc. However, upon placing it in the car...it sounds slow as all get out.
So again, in simplest form, is there a way to take a track at 44.1kHz that plays to the correct speed (pitch, tempo, etc) when played at 48kHz. Is there anyway to make the song play at 44.1kHz without changing the pitch of the recorded material?
Or is there something else I can do without jeopadizing all the recorded material to this point?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm really in a bind here and I'm truly at a loss right now.
Thanks for any help here!

  1. Nov 10, 2019 How To Convert 44.1 Khz Audio To 48khz Premiere Problem: My video is 48000 Hz and I have a separate audio track at 44100 Hz that slowly moves out of sync with the video.
  2. Quexos said: It is the most recent 4.36.5-612 version, and yes it is ASIO. It adds an ASIO control panel with options to set Hz and buffer size. I set it to 48000 and 256, then make in the windows settings 16 bit 48000, or whatever matches the ASIO control panel. But I have tried buffers from 128-512 and bit rates of 16/44.100, 16/48000, 24/48000.

Sound files with this extension are recorded into 8 or 16 bit per sample. A standard option for CD Audio is an audio stream of 16 bit per sample and sampling frequency of 44.1 KHz. One second of sound corresponds to 88 Kb of internal memory. WAV files can store metadata in the INFO chunk, and they also include integrated IFF lists.

From time to time, you may wish to change the sample rate of your audio.
