You can see the harmonics hit nyquist and reflect down. In all likelihood, those "extra harmonics" are actually digital aliasing, not harmonically related to the original input signal in any way.
@@producermathew I agree, most plugins are coded cleverly enough that it is not an issue. If you are using obscene amounts of distortion it’s something to be conscious of, but if it sounds good it sounds good.
@@producermathew weeeeeeel not exactly. if you compress and process and saturate, it will be come a problem. also stacking multiple sources will be messy
Truth is plugins are good and they get the job done but compared to actual hardware there’s no comparison when u listen to music in the 80’s 90’s early 2000’s you here pure analog and mostly real sounds that’s why that music still hits today the computer music we make today to me honestly doesn’t hit that hard with the digital stuff
Antialiasing makes the results MUCH closer!!!! SO close you probably can't win a Blind test... Let's see 4 different examples two of each and nobody knows which is which... Can you hear which one is the hardware? Not if the plugin has antialiasing that actually works man...
@JamesJones-th3ml exactly, that's the entire point that most people miss. And even without anti-aliasing, it doesn't make much more than a iota of a difference in the context of a mix as long as you're using it smart/safe. And even if there's a "difference" in sound...a difference doesn't equate to better or worse. Just different. If you're a pro level mixing engineer making pro level money, theres nothing wrong with owning "pro level" gear. But a pro level mixer can also get a pro level sound out of whatever tools he has in front of him, whether they cost a few hundred or a few hundred thousand. Great sounding records are 90% experience/talent (on everyones part) and maybe 10% the specific gear being used (if that). Don't buy into the marketing hype of high end gear.

You're correct. Shity plugin without oversample function i guess.
@@Anktualdude, that's UAD
Guess I’m switching to 96k
@@howir0n1c2 the difference is huge.. Those who say otherwise ain't sound engineers
Great Video, 5 Stars for you 👍
This video is Digital Gold 👍🏾
Nice! Keep these analog vs digital comparisons coming
would be cool if you compare your 2 hardware neves
Aliasing?
Of course there's aliasing on the digital version and not the hardware. If you're careful in your mix tho it doesn't make much of a difference
Test different distressors
Why is that little notch going up and down in the low end?
Upper harmonics on the plugin = aliasing
also inaudible and completely irrelevant.
@@producermathewyeah and theres also thing called oversampling

That doesn't look like aliasing though, it would be backward slope then. It's more like ua's own added distortion 🤔

What are the differences between the two hardware units?
Is this the newer Classic Version for about 3k?
What is the name of the software for measuring?

Late 90’s everything started going the digital route

I don't give a damn what it looks like in plugin DR. What does it sound like. Ear Test me please.
looks like aliasing
