I have the Devine Machine plug-in software, so I have downloaded alot of one shot samples but, the bit rate is too low to work with DM. Is there a program (free) that I can download that I can use to change the bit rate to 22k, 44k or 48k?
Help will be appreciated 😀

Without wishing to be pedantic.. you're talking about samplerate. (ie: 44.1KHz, 48KHz etc)
Bit depth is also a factor for uncompressed wav or aiff files. (ie: 16 bit, 24 bit etc.)
Bit-rate is only relevant when talking about compressed audio such as mp3 or ogg. (ie: 128kbps, 192kbps etc)

i think the dbPoweramp converter will let you change these rates in batch so you could process a whole folder (for instance) in one go.

I'm a sound engineer who has to do this stuff almost daily and for years I have been using Sound Forge...Back when Sonic Foundary owned it and now when Sony owns it...You can change bit depth, samplerate, and even bitrate for online streaming purposes....It's a true swiss army knife! You could also use a Nuendo,Cubase,Pro Tools,or any one of these big programs sample converters,,as they all are armed with such utilities.. Hope i could help you out... 24 bit samples have more headroom than 16 bit ones!! 🙂 Hope the creative process goes smoothly..... Peace and Science 🙂
