seems like fair advice ...

^^^

yeah, i can't see that i said anything different... really... just expressed my opinion... and i was not really talking about the sound at all!

more about the possibility (which i said that i did not tried it myself out) that it lays more strain on the CPU.

anyone? more CPU usage or not? i would have to make some extra different sample rate recordings, only work since years in the same...

seriously, anyone?

i guess my main point with all those discussions is that quite binary notion of good distortion versus bad distortion. SRC is bad distortion. Tube amp is good distortion. My snare is broken. It rattles.

^^^ that is why i hate yamaha... even it is everything but poorly designed, but it rattles wrong

still anyone, more CPU strain or not? that was more or less my main guess what would happen (more strain on the CPU) and why i said not a good idea as long as you can avoid it.

PM sent to Funk, it's all good.

@ SubFunk:

The SRC is always running. Without SRC you cannot even pitch a sample with warp off! Or it will sound like in Sampler with interpolation set to "none" - try it and you will understand that the SRC is quite essential

The SRC only is "transparent" when it does not need to work. But I am not sure if this saves significant CPU cycles. The thing is, just having an audio track there with volume, pan, routing, sends, latency compensation etc... etc.. costs CPU. The SRC does not really add a huge portion to it.
What adds CPU load is the more advances FFT based timestrech algorithms like "complex" and "complex pro". Here it becomes obvious that one would want to avoid them if not needed.

^^^ cool, so it was not that difficult to clear that up. was it.
