[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

"finger-up" shure sounds funny.

[@stuff4826]

this is the topic where ify pondering and guessing youre alright will set you back years. youll get all invested in gear and work all day, ruining every mix by bouncing wrong. youll even stop checking the mixdowns, the repeated truama of having your vision destroyed will be too much to risk. you start rendering at -6db and hire a mastering engineer eventually, assuming you have no ears and never did.

[@dbhammond]

Very timely. I've been been thinking about moving to a higher sample rate but wanted to avoid the traps that can make it worse. This was helpful.

[@thomasniehof6333]

In the Bounce to Disk settings of Pro Tools you can select an option called 'convert after bounce'. This makes sure you bounce in the session's sample rate before converting the result of this bounce to a lower sample rate.

[@ezrashanti]

Do you happen to know how to do this in Cubase?

Great video, I love the technical science side of audio and this is very useful information. Sometimes I see people post in forums about when they render a file it sounds different than when they were mixing it and I've always wondered what could be the cause of that and this could be one of the explanations in certain cases. Also what frequency analyzer are you using with all the pretty colors?

[@jordanriver6346]

Awesome thought provoking video. If only my CPU could keep up with realtime 32x oversampling all all plugs at once. Is there was way to pull this trick off in Ableton?

[@eliguillot6685]

Ableton 10 automatically renders in higher sample rate and then exports at whatever you choose. If you set it to high sample rate in project and then go to export it tells you that it will render at higher sample rate

[@gicagluca]

Brilliant!

[@TjKdlc]

Thanks for this! I'll be more careful about this in the future

I would love to replicate this with Cubase but I don't know how. You cannot change project sample rate without converting every file. Any helps will be much appreciated.

[@TraxtasyMedia]

Hey there, actually heard about that only a handful of producers tempt to organize their projects like that. I was never certain if I should do it either, but this video gave me a clear answer. Thank you for that.

[@sqwop]

I like all tips keep them coming, except mushroom tips.

[@MrAchris10]

It would be cool if you made a series of process checks that helps illustrate different concepts like this video, with example files and different scenarios to help drive the concepts home.

[@dzamusic]

Man, this was the best tip ever! So I have to condition myself to think of setting 192 kHz in the 'project settings' before rendering. While producing/mixing I would leave it at 44.1 because otherwise my RME (or let's say my CPU) can't handle this amount of processing well.

[@___David___Savian]

Ok people here is what I recommend as a professional studio engineer. As you record each of your tracks, add your effects, automation, etc. Then, right click the track if in Reaper and select Apply Track/Take FX As New Items. What this does is that it lowers your CPU use so that before you start the project you can pre set the project as 192 instead of 44.1 This turns your track into a .WAV. Remember though that if you do this and you want to edit your tract you can revert by turning the track to the following state called Active again. When you have done all your mixing and you want to render/bounce then just bounce your project as usual that will each be a .WAV and you'll have a great sound rendering it as 192. My favorite mastering plugin at a reasonable price recommendation would be the Abbey Roads Mastering Chain and select the preset called Balanced. Here is one instrumental where I played all the instruments and did what I recommended to you guys. P.S. the guy throughout the video is not me and you can see what my real name is. Cheers.

[@dnoizaudio]

Amazing post.

[@didoukid1541]

Thx for the pro tip !

[@caspermaster-com]

Wow, thanks! Bringing up the project sample rate to 192 before bounce made it sound a lot better and/but showed in the sound overuse of the soothe plugin, because im taking away harsh sounds that only appear in lower sample rate that im mixing in...

[@pietroguglielmini1417]

Great video! Can you quickly explain me how to deal with this trouble in Fl Studio?

[@izzychago]

Gracias hermano muy informativo

[@IntoTheForest]

If I’m recording, mixing, and bouncing my tracks in 44.1 will this fold back distortion apply since everything is kept at the same sample rate? Or does this still apply? If so will filtering everything above 20k fix this as you demonstrated? Thanks for the video as it was very insightful.

[@chillstudiolima]

Hello! Big Fan! That happened when you bounce, how about when you print and then export the audio in a different sample rate? o when you print and then bounce without any plugin??? it would be nice if you can do a part 2 of this video showing what im saying! THX!!!

QUESTION: Is it possible for me to do this process inside Maschine software or does it have to be a full fledge DAW?

[@plasticcreations7836]

I love how you consider the human side of things and not just the technical details.

[@famitory]

"foldback distortion" refers to a kind of waveshaping, not aliasing. check out the free vst Driveshaper for an example of how foldback distortion sounds.

[@richardstylez1950]

Only reasonable thing to do now is to make your next video a blind test with different audio samples at different sample rates to prove that it matters and actually sounds better. Perhaps you would not be able to tell which is which in some cases. Make examples for us as well. Play A/B parts bounced out at different sample rates, then play them without showing which is A and B, then we can hear for ourselves. I have had so many discussions with audio engineers that claim this and that, then we do blind tests and they make a fool out of themselves. Would make a fun video either way :)

[@WillJukedTheBox]

RIchard Stylez just try tidal and go back and forth from normal and master modes. Easy to hear the difference

[@buddhabinaural]

Yes, I agree and I was all was always taught if you can't hear it don't do it. Makes no difference to me anyway as I run on a core duo with 4gb ram, it only just copes with 48000.

[@voicesofww2]

@@WillJukedTheBox "Difference" doesn't mean better. 44.1 is fine, there's really no benefit to going higher

[@WillJukedTheBox]

J W while i agree 44.1 is fine, there are benefits to going higher at least in the studio and they have to do with pushing aliasing artifacts out of the range of human hearing increasing the quality and authenticity of analog emulations and synth, saturation and distortion effects, also reducing latency,

Video makes perfect sense

[@junkandcrapamen]

You could also bounce or mix down at the session sample rate and then downsample during mastering.

Excellent video. Now show the results on a mix! show us the "sandy" texture, versus clean or minimal aliasing. That is something to behold.

[@nathan43082]

In Pro Tools, I have always bounced to disk at 24/96 stereo, then brought the resulting file into a 24/44.1 pre-mastering session, letting it down-convert upon import using the best settings. I then pre-master my final to 16/44.1 with medium dithering.

[@dissdad8744]

Are you serious? I really can't tell.

[@nathan43082]

@@dissdad8744 Are you a troll? I can tell.

[@cornwallradiophonic6250]

your best to keep all files at the higher recorded rate until after mastering and then convert them for specific mediums like cd via good dithering software .Your approach is wrong totally as downsampling via import is both a substandard quality and also its pointless prior to mastering where the higher quality will allow better subjective evaluation of the music for mastering.You should keep the main master at working rate and secondary masters at lower rates off the back of the finished master.

[@dissdad8744]

@@cornwallradiophonic6250 You are absolutely correct. Nathan's approach is so weird and unprofessional that I was wondering whether he was a troll? By the way: use Voxengo's free R8brain for SRC - it's better than most DAWs SRC algos!

[@nathan43082]

@@cornwallradiophonic6250 Those are good suggestions except for the understanding of the sample rate conversion on import, which uses exactly the same set of algorithms (for the various speed vs. quality settings) as if you converted when bouncing, at least in Pro Tools, which is what I have used for years.

[@velvetratm]

Holy Sht! I thought about this all last week! But I didn't have much time to check it! And YES! Of course it works! OfC it will be sounds better! But i don't have much system power to work in 192, and I think I can change sample rate when I bounce master track. Its not a great idea, but its better then bounce in 44.1 or 48kHz. Its crazy, to work in 48, then, when you bounce, you just change sample rate to 192 and BOOM, you have two different tracks: one what you hear, when do the mix, and one bounced. Thank you, man! Great youtube channel!

[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

So it works for you in person over and over? Just setting the project samplerate before rendering???

[@mrGood-84]

Very true. Great video! I completely agree with - I want a bounce that is exactly the same as what I hear. The only way to get that, that works for me is to use my virtual channels on UAD Apollo (and I'm guessing you can do this with other I/Os that have more advanced mixers, RME comes to mind) and record back to DAW ( I use S1). After that I use Ozon standalone to covert it to whatever format I need...

[@dodo.danciu]

Drasko Popovic that’s interesting. May I ask how do you export from Apollo’s virtual channels? Thank you!

[@mrGood-84]

@@dodo.danciu Hi bud! So, the concept is simple: You need to go from your DAW to UA console's virtual channels and then go back to the DAW by making a new track that has those channels as input (and mute them during recording). Most of the DAWs will automatically assign the available inputs and outputs (if not then add them yourself) and then you only need to link either 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 Virtual channels in UA console for them to work in stereo. I hope I was clear enough :)

[@lastcall9998]

Thank god you didn't assume everyone knew this, no wonder I always thought my down mixes didn't sound the way within the DAW. "but" now questions arise: If I am working in a 192 khz environment, should I set plugins that oversample to that oversampling mode? Or that plugin will work as it should if I am in that 192 khz environment? No wonder I wasn't liking Reaper, if only I knew this tip sooner (I switched to Studio one pro and yes, I love it). Those back harmonics/distortion is so irresponsible from developers... sigh...
