Up until now my workflow has been to work in whatever sample rate the mixes are delivered in, and the use AudioFile Engineering's Sample Manager to move everything down to 44.1 before assembly. It's an extra step but the the application is easy to use and the Izotope SRC is one of the best.
A recent spate of mixed sample rate sessions has me sold on setting up a pitch/catch system though. I was thinking pitch with RX or Logic and catch with WL.
Another option would be to up-sample all of the tracks to the highest sample rate in the session. So if you have a a few mixes at 44.1, 48 and then a few at 88.2 up-sample the 44.1 and 48 tracks to 88.2 before you starting working and run the the session at 88.2.
WaveLab 7 also does a great job of catching.
I had considered that, but I avoid upsampling because in this case it's not really a necessary process, just something that improves workflow. There's sometimes an audible difference in upsampling (even with iZotope) and I don't want to monkey with the signal just because it's more convenient.
Hey Jerry, have you experienced any of the dropout problems with WL7 when recording into the audio workspace and then moving things over to montage for assembly? I know lots of folks have problems with the ASIO loop, but the record function skips all that.
Just ordered a Lynx AES16e to go with soundBlade which I just purchased used as well (used to only have PMCD). So I'll be checking out pitching from ProTools HD at 96kHz & catching into sB at 44.1kHz all on the one machine. Hoping it all works
