While this is correct, I still don't think you completely understand what's going on. The article you linked is misleading so I'm not too surprised by that. The article is factually wrong, that square wave generated by Audacity is about as far from perfect as it can be despite what the article...

Every digital synth (including hardware synths that don't run on a computer) is going to be band limited to the nyquist frequency, not just VST instruments.

Once again, you show that you keep making posts without understanding what you post. This synth does not output a square wave. If you did some research instead of just googling "square wave printed on synth" and posting the first result you get as "proof", you would notice the very sneakily...

No, the electrons don't travel anywhere near at the speed of light, so we can't assume that the "electrons travel 2,5km", whatever that means in your insane word. http://amasci.com/miscon/speed.html

We had a first semester subject that went over high school math and physics. We couldn't pick up most of the subjects without passing that first. The water analogy brought up by bigshot can give a very good idea of how DC circuits behave under normal conditions even though it's just a high...

http://amasci.com/miscon/whatis.html You really shouldn't be arguing about what electricity is if the last time you learned about it was 40 years ago in high school. People who actually has to deal with electricity usually mean the electromagnetic field by "electricity". Your overly simplistic...

There isn't any error or discrepancy for the discrete fourier transform (DFT). The DFT can be applied to the audio signal by 64 samples at a time or by 2048 samples at a time or by 100000 samples at a time, it doesn't matter. The inverse transform will give the audio samples back perfectly as...

@sunjam http://www.dspguide.com/ch3.htm Excellent free resource to educate yourself about how sampling works.

I kinda wish those threads could stay there but locked. Both of them expose the OP as either extremely ignorant or completely insane. I understand that the USB thread went well beyond what's accepted on head-fi so it either had to go or you had to wade through the posts one by one but I feel...

The reason you have to resort to poorly drawn ms paint pictures to show "smearing" instead of posting actual pictures of oscilloscopes showing the signal is because the smearing does not happen the way you imply it on your paint pictures. This thread could have been closed right after the second...

Yes, I should have called them images and I should have not implied that they fold back below nyquist. It would only fold back if it was measured by an ADC operating at the same sample rate which is something I've encountered so often recently I've made a mistake there. Now I know at least one...

Something that seemingly everyone missed so far is that @sunjam's experience is not even about high-res. He took a 16bit 44kHz sampling rate file, upsampled it to a higher rate (using a 300$ software I might add) and zero padded it to 32bit, then played back this upsampled version of the file...

No way... :face_palm:

How uncertainty principle applies to fourier transforms: By far the best videos I've found on fourier transform and series: There's a very intuitive explanation on the fourier uncertainty principle somewhere from the same person but I can't find it. Have you ever watched two cars using...

You're just close minded. Why don't you get a nice quantum entangler from aliexpress? The sound is so bad when the electron flow powering your headphones don't all have the same spin. It makes your subconscious dizzy and prevents you from focusing on the finer details!
