Still not grasping this part of Sample Rates...
Posted: 11 Dec 2022
Selig gave some good links a while ago, but I still have trouble with a part of this article:
https://sonicscoop.com/the-science-of-s ... n-it-isnt/
Does a higher sample rate still run too fast on a modern system? Will there be still unwanted artifacts, when there's a ~20 kHz filter before the audio gets converted to analog? With software synths, can there really be such calculation inaccuracies happening?
If yes, then how doesn't the same happen with oversampling?
Or is it all about that it's easier to convert a normal 44.1 kHz sample rate audio to analog, than a much higher one?
(Don't get me wrong, I'd just stick to 34 kHz sample rate if I could, cause I can't hear a thing above 17 kHz.) The only reason I run R12 above 44.1 kHz, is because the sequencer has better reaction times due to how the CV system works internally. The rest, I'd just solve with oversampling, if I could. (Yeah, I know, RRP + Reaper works. But I prefer the Reason sequencer.)
Point is, if audio, which is above that ~60 kHz optimal sample rate, gets converted to analog, even if filtered, would mess up, say, a clean 100 Hz sine wave, right?
