Not just a sales pitch for Fabfilter plugins...

ive had this discussion with some folks- im just not utterly convinced less harmonic distortion is a GOOD thing. i mean.. analog devices are FULL of it, fets, tubes, overloaded circuits- and we love them. i mean.. API preamps splat and its 'character'!
meantime- in THEORY.. a good converters sposed to sound the same on all sampling rates. i dont find that to be the case.. cause on my focusrite i found 88.2 to be the happy place... but ymmv...
but i didnt watch the vid- though i will

hm. yeah aliasing is super weird-- that was a cool explanation of how that works-- i've never heard it isolated before. interesting stuff-- i guess as computers get more powerful and storage gets cheaper.. we'll keep narrowing the gap between analog and digital.
cool vid!
