| Jun 4, 2023 at 23:58 | comment | added | user1079505 | @DmitriUrbanowicz I'm answering a question about difference between audio interfaces and built in PC sound cards, and my claim is that in this context, the sample rate is not the first or even the second most important parameter. If you'd like to ask about details of impact of sampling rate, please ask a separate question. | |
| Jun 4, 2023 at 19:26 | comment | added | Dmitri Urbanowicz | @ojs this answer asserts that there’s no reason to record a guitar at higher framerates, giving unrelated facts about cats and final downsampling as a justification. These unrelated facts must be either removed or clarified. You, on the other hand, are being rude for no reason. | |

| Jun 3, 2023 at 9:28 | comment | added | Dmitri Urbanowicz | @user1079505 I guess I actually wanted to ask a question. Is it known that raw guitar signal is free from significant high frequencies that might be important for the pedalboard and amp simulators? | |
| Jun 3, 2023 at 1:54 | comment | added | user1079505 | @DmitriUrbanowicz This is why I mention oversampling for processing sound. | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 7:35 | comment | added | Dmitri Urbanowicz | While you can't hear higher frequencies, the non-linear processing can depend on them very much. Not sure how relevant this is for the guitar source signal, but processing digital sound at high sample rates is not as crazy as generally believed. | |

| May 30, 2023 at 20:55 | comment | added | Yorik | I think a key takeaway from a layman's perspective is: "may result in loosing high frequencies from the signal." The impedance problem can behave like a tone filter in this particular case. For motherboard audio chipsets going back perhaps 15 years, they are actually higher than 48k native sampling and it is possible to shave 1 or 2 milliseconds of latency by setting the sample rate to match the chipset. | |
