Running tape at half speed has almost nothing to do with digital resampling, which is what playing digital audio at half speed is generally all about.
My use of DAC was a thinko, I've edited at least post to correct it since in the current context we're always talking about ADC. Apologies for that.
Wrong again. As a sound designer I can choose to import a 192kHz file into a 48kHz PT session in two ways, one as resampled audio which means pitch & duration stay the same, OR I can choose to import it without SR conversion, in which case the audio plays at quarter speed & pitch is 2 octaves lower. We use both techniques ALL the time, every day. It's a common technique every sound designer uses.
You are arguing about techniques you have no experience with.
I wrote a DAW that does precisely what you describe. I've been doing it for 25 years.
