I've read many times that audio plug-ins such as equalizers work better at higher sample rates, even if audio generally doesn't benefit. It seems unlikely that there's a practical advantage to up-sampling all your files, or recording at 96 KHz in the first place, but is there a potential theoretical improvement? Or is this just another Internet myth?

That's interesting, so basically if you want to "remaster" a track :
let's say denoising, eq, exciters, reverb, stereo ehancers , and why not slight loudness compression, it would be better to upsample first, and then downsample once the work is done ? I'm not so sure that even with a big dsp chain, upsampling is worth it, or at least that a difference could be perceived, but I prefer to do it anyway. However, this increase cpu use. |
