This is probably a misunderstanding. We are not talking about the DAW's input/output or aliasing that happens in the process of oversampling, because there's no aliasing there. We are talking about the aliasing that happens because of the non-linearities in plugins. Plugins that introduce non-linearities often use oversampling to reduce aliasing and use an anti-aliasing filter on their way back to original sample rate to prevent aliasing from downsampling. There are *two* aliasing sources here: (1) the one from non-linearities which can be reduced but not eliminated by oversampling, and (2) the one from downsampling which can be prevented by the anti-aliasing filter. I believe you are talking about (2), while MogwaiBoy means (1).fmr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 10:16 amPlease stop talking nonsense.

THERE IS NO ALIASING NOW - DAWs HAVE ANTI-ALIASING FILTERS. PLUG-INS HAVE ANTI-ALIASING FILTERS. THE "LOW-PASS" YOU MENTION "IS" THE ANTI-ALIASING FILTER.
What DAW do you use BTW? And do you have measures supporting your statements, or is it "just a feeling"?
Here, take a look of what is an anti-aliasing filter, what is oversampling, and stop talking rubbish: https://www.analog.com/en/analog-dialog ... rters.html
Using higher sample rate can further reduce aliasing from (1) a bit by having higher Nyquist frequency so the aliasing frequencies folded back into audible range are less strong. Also, the anti-aliasing filter can have a higher cutoff frequency, so it affect the audible frequency range less. That's the point, I believe.
