mic, 2016 03 30: When a wave file is downsampled, a low pass filter must be applied to remove frequencies that are above the new Nyquist frequency for the new sampling rate (above half of the new sampling rate). When a wave is upsampled, a low pass filter must similarly be applied to make sure that no new frequencies are introduced above the original Nyquist frequency. Conversion should be rare. In principle, the user should almost never need to upsample or downsample. On case could be if the user is trying to import a wave into the session, but the wave has a different sampling rate than the session.
Either way, in the current version of Orinj, the low pass filters used when changing the sampling rates of waves need some fixes. These are minor and the result should be barely noticeable.

Not relevant with versions 3, 4 and later
This is no longer relevant. Converting sampling rates is now done differently (essentially relies on the conversion provided in Java's AudioSystem). There is no Orinj specific conversion and there are no low pass filters that can cause errors.
