Almost everyone gets hi-res audio wrong
At the cursed intersection of science, maths, information theory, subjective evaluation, and technical mysticism, there lies: the Nyquist Limit.
We spent a lot of time analyzing plugin behaviour at different sample rates, and we'd like to share some of what we learned. Follow us for more.
(Some information has been simplified for the video, but even so it's still pretty gnarly.)
GOSSAMER (chorus/phaser/verb), PARANOIA (deluxe distortion) and GLOSS (free mini-chorus) are available now at https://remaincalm.audio

(Technical note: alias suppression is a DSP performance/quality tradeoff, and can never be 100% effective. Also our PARANOIA effect has some clipping modes that deliberately introduce absurd levels of aliasing on purpose, because it sounds sick on electronic drums.)
