Oversampling Explained

As an intermediate mixing and mastering engineer, I really love your content. You guys make really informative content that explains more complicated concepts in simple ways, and that kicks ass. Keep going ❤️

learned about this channel a couple weeks ago and am really loving all the videos you guys put out!

I'm still not sure about it, why not just set the DAW to sample at a higher rate?

Yes!! & now I know what you're talking about!!💌 thankU for this nice info Sage audio!

Well, what is the meaning of "Phase" issues or problems or cancellation or something like that, what is the meaning of it sage audio? I'm a little bit confused aha smh

Thanks for explaining this

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Always wondered about this so thanks for the video! Do you know if oversampling persists through subsequent processing? Or is it isolated in just that one plugin, returning to the session sample rate once the signal has passed through?

1024 OVERSAMPLING!!!! Wow MeldaProduction is not fooling around....Thank you for the video.

no one is giving away that information
that's why I really love your content
I've learned a lot from you guys thank you

Such gems these vids, thank you

this is the type of shit you have to go to school 4 years for lol good looking big homie!!! Sage Audio is full of real nikkas!!!!

i loved the video! if we send you a mix for sage audio to master for free like the video said, how long do you think it would take?

If I'm using LUNA to record in at 44k, if I export my master at a higher sample rate will it give the same results as oversampling on a plugin?

Trying to learn something new every day and this really helped ngl

Definitely my favorite channel when it comes to this stuff. Super informative, clear and you got a very relaxing voice that makes it easy and pleasant to listen to. Amazing stuff.. Thanks!

Awesome info. Thank u so much!

The only way to get rid of nasty frequencies in the artificial digital domain. I switched to 96khz and have to bounce and freeze more. But so what.

Question o/ If I use a plug in like the MLimiterX for example, can I just use it to oversamplify or do I have to use other features in the plug in as well for it to work? And by how much would you recommend we increase it? Like you said not too high for the processor:0

Oversampling doesn't do something noticeable? I don't agree. It depends on the plugin. Oversampling is not something you should always use or maybe not too often. Sometimes adding os it changes the sound quite a lot, it's like you have cut low end and boosted some high frequencies, that's my experience. Aliasing is not an issue per se, sometimes with aliasing it sounds even closer to an analog emulation.

Many thanks; it helps a lot

What's the best over sampling plugin

So (most likely, dumb question ahead) as I understand it, there are many benefits to working, generally, at higher sample rates. My question is, what are my choices as a budget oriented home “producer”, afterwards, when I need to send the track off in 44.1 kHz / 16 bit format to the music platforms. Are there any not too pricey ways of downsampling. Thanks.

thank you so much dude

I don't fully understand. So if my session is set at 44,1KHz, the oversampling option allows me to go beyond this initial setting on a particular track. Right ? I don't understand how a plugin can partially change the sample rate of a session just for itself. It's like let's say you're given a box of chocolates for a total of 1kg but if you want you can change the size of some chocolates and have some bigger ones but without affecting the total weight.... but ok.
But, what leave me even more confused is : if I'm recording from my audio interface set at 44,1KHz, how can the plugin can magically change the quality of the incoming signal ?
Also if I'm using oversampling with a plug-in on one track. Does this also affect how the other plugins work on the same track ? Because if suddenly the signal is now sampled x2 (So 88kHz in our case), I guess it goes for the track in overall, no ?
What am I missing ?

seriously high quality info here my dudes, straight to the point and with great examples, wish more content would follow your direct educational content style, many thx to you all

Best video on oversampling 🔥

Good stuff man!!

Why would "harmonics be reflected down the frequency spectrum"?

Why would there be aliasing at 30khz in a file that is capped at 22khz max? Why would there be any such signal? Isn't all of that lowpassed out anyway?

Dear sage audio how much can we use oversampling in mixing? Too much oversampling in the mix will cause trouble for us?except cpu issues

On another question ,do the other saturation plugins have oversampling feature? For example we can't see the oversampling knob in Aphex from Waves

Companys like UAD advise against using oversampling on the masterbus, unless the plugin has a mix blend with any setting other than 100% wet.

If i oversampled when i master , can i erase the alliasing of the mixing when i mixed?
