Awesome! Great to hear that you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

Agreed. The other channel that is great is in the mix. With the British dude.

Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment

@@sageaudio no problem!

oversampling is like sampleing except but more better.

i think a sample rate is the rate of sampling, so the faster the sample rate, the more information recorded per second in the audio. this makes the audio better and more detailed. The distortion comes from digitization, which is opposed on the sound when it is sampled. Every digital effect needs to sample the sound in order to impose it's effect upon it, so if you use a faster sample rate, the sampling of the sound will be more accurate and less noticeably digital sounding.

Oversampling is per plugin. If you want to mimic oversampling on the whole processing chain, you can simply set a higher sample rate in your session.

Thanks for watching Theo! JS said it well! SageAudio.com

This can be a complex subject. I suggest reading about it from many sources.

Unfortunately it will not give the same results. Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

Thanks for watching! Usually the turn around time is about 1 week! SageAudio.com

@@sageaudio great to know! most definitely will send you guys a mix of my bands song we plan to release on spotify this summer. how do we credit you for mastering or how do we go about that?

Thanks for watching! If you're working in a higher bit depth, and need to reduce it, you can use dithering which is usually an option via your DAW when you export. As for lowering the sampling rate (I'm assuming you're going from 48kHz to 44.1kHz.), you should be alright if you simply convert it in your DAW when you export your mix/master - no additional steps needed.

@@sageaudio I don’t mean to be repetitive, but (assuming everything else in the project is “release worthy” in the first place) is this process release worthy. I use Logic Pro and the long term plan is to put out my ideas if possible, by myself. Thanks much for replying.

Exaggerated in my opinion as 4x is more than enough to not have aliasing thrown back at your mix.

I tried it out of curiosity and it didn't go well haha. Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

You could define Phase as your audio inverted part. 4 - 4 = 0. It's like a perfect copy of that audio in particular that goes contrary to you. When your Audio go up with an certain amount of force, the Phased Audio goes down with the same amount of force... Totally cancelling the effort. So it doesn't sound at all... It's a technique used in various ways. For example a Singer's headphones could "bleed" noise into the Microphone, or even his voice could feedback... By applying Phase you could try to cancel these noises. Another advance use of phase is when you want to filter certain content of the sound. Imagine a kick you want mute, by adding a similar one and inverting the phase you could filter it out... So many creative things you could do with phase. But inside a mix it could cause problems with other instruments or tracks. Hope this helps

@@rumar4u Ruben you’re talking about a complete 180 degree flip of a sound wave that equals opposite polarity and hence full cancellation. There are plenty of phase issues that happen between 2 or more similar signals/frequencies being in cyclical step and being out to the point you described. When there is a time shift between same combined frequencies they can sum and subtract in sections of the wave that are not at the peaks and troughs, thereby skewing the shape of the resulting signal and sound. Anything that affects the timing between similar signals is going to bring about a shift they’re married together. That can be from conflicts caused by multimiking, room reflections messing with the direct signal at a mic, delays caused by plugins and so on. Sometimes what crops up can suit the listener’s taste and can be used in the upper frequencies for spread, but it’s something to watch out for, especially with the lower frequencies. Can’t elaborate more due to battery about to die...

@@colinbudd5840 Sorry part of the reply got cut, probably my mistake, but I was trying to be as simple as possible in order for her to understand. But thanks for it.

:-). Been there. Cheers Colin

Thanks for watching Riona! The "Phase" issues are just waveforms conflicting with other waveforms. So the aliasing distortion that occurs interacts with the original signal, and causes "destructive interference" making the original signal quieter, and potentially causing unwanted stereo imaging.

Nice glad to hear that helped! SageAudio.com

cause then a black hole will spawn in your living room

I'm doing both!

You could, but then you might be applying higher sample rate to parts of the processing chain that don't need it, while increasing the cpu load.

Thanks for watching Dave! Mainly because it's a lot of work for a computer to handle. Ideally, we could just use a higher sampling rate for the session, but oversampling is a good alternative. SageAudio.com

@@sageaudio Thanks. I thought as much, but at the time I was the first or second person to comment, and I thought the question needed to be asked just for the sake of clarity. :)

it gives more resolution, it makes more of the signal sit in space rather than in a "digit" so to speak resulting in a more lifelike sound. If you buy really good converters or a really good clock, like Prism or Forssell for example, you don't need as much oversampling.
