**TLDR:** A process that adapts an audio signal to different sampling rates for model and system compatibility.

<p>Sample rate conversion is used to make audio compatible across devices, datasets, and models. However, this is not just a simple resizing operation; issues such as aliasing and information loss must be carefully managed. It is one of the core preprocessing layers in multi-source data preparation and production audio systems.</p>
