Giga Studio sample probs with 24bit/48k(+)

Hi! Don't know if anyone can help me here...

I'm having problems when it comes to recording a mix of livve instruments, and MIDI triggered sample library instruments with Giga Studio rewired into Sonar.

Thing is, I want to record my acoustic instruments (guitar/acous guitar/vocal) in 24 bit and at least 48k (usually go to 96 for best possible recording). The thing is, if I have the audio set-up as 24 bit and 48k, none of the samples play correctly as all the pitch is out.

This is annoying because it means I have to mix down all the MIDI first in 16/44.1, then export it at a bigger bit/rate, then create a new project at the new rates I want to use, import them in and start recording the other stuff. Could there be something I'm doing wrong that's causing the samples to trigger off-pitch when selecting a higher sample rate? I don't understand why it would effect the sound/notes I'm playing.

"...Could there be something I'm doing wrong that's causing the samples to trigger off-pitch when selecting a higher sample rate? I don't understand why it would effect the sound/notes I'm playing..."

You're doing nothing wrong, except trying to change the sample rate--It's exactly like playing an old reel-to-reel tape at a different speed than it was recorded at--It's going to play back at a different speed.

So, the samples Must be played at the rate at which they were recorded.
