Having said that, I never oversample past 2X, because I can't hear any difference. "Benefit from 96kHz processing without the hard disk and CPU strain that recording at 96kHz produces" Send them the link to the documentation page scook posted.
NEBULA 3 GEARSLUTZ UPDATE
Wow, there are massive alliasing threads on Gearslutz and KVR, if we Cakewalk users were able to go in there and tell everyone the new free Cakewalk update allows you to run all plugs at x4 with a simple button push and the CPU hit is barely noticeable, good gracious, you would get a stream of new people jumping to Cakewalk.Ī little arrow option with X2, x4, and x8, oh my, that would be HUGE You have to buy a extra plug to load them in. I would be one of the ones out there harping on it because I don't know of any other daw that can stay at 44 yet run it's plugs in oversampling with a simple button push. You add just x4 alone in to Cakewalk in the next update and you would see a nice jump in people turning to Cakewalk.ĬAKEWALK, GIVE US A X4 BUTTON AT LEAST IN THE NEXT UPDATE and that news would be all over the audio forums. I have known people were interested in switching just because it has X2.

If this X2 is so darn easy to run, I can say for sure that if you gave us even x4 and this was mentioned on a forum like Gearspace (Gearslutz), there would be people jumping to Cakewalk like crazy because many folks still love a lot of plugs that do not have built in os. So goodness sakes, Cakewalk, in a new update, give us at least a x4 option as well, it would be so awesome to use some of my old Waves plugs, for instance, with x4 or x8, stuff like Soundtoys and my Nebula stuff. This shows it's working, and also tells me that this X2 is is very little pressure on even my old laptop CPU.

So, then, if the X2 is isn't using but such little CPU, then I think Cakewalk should give us x4 and 圆 options for plugins. I was only interested in the CPU usage of the X2 is. I should not have mentioned aliasing at all. Of course, all this is moot if you can't hear (or even measure) the difference, in which case you didn't need upsampling to begin with. Under most circumstances, upsampling individual plugins is not going to have a noticeable effect on overall latency. By contrast, bumping up your overall sample rate is far more impactful, as it affects everything, including filling output buffers for monitoring and input buffers for recording as well as plugin processing.

Even then, CPU usage will normally bounce around more than that just due to WIndows background processes. In terms of CPU usage, I doubt you'd see a discernable change, unless maybe you upsampled every plugin. And that's actually a rare condition, difficult to make happen even on purpose. I've never had a synth or effect that caused audible aliasing, and if I ever did it would get retired immediately. It's not going to be easy to verify that upsampling is working. The effect is normally going to be quite subtle (assuming it does anything at all) unless you have some scenario where obvious aliasing can be heard (or seen with a spectrum analyzer).
