Why would reduced latency mean better accuracy? Processing that adds harmonic content (saturators, distortions) sound "better" (different) because of the leaner anti-aliasing filter necessary at higher sampling rates.jonljacobi wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 3:21 pm What you observe is largely correct. Some processing will be more accurate at higher sample rates if the plugin is not already oversampling (using a higher sample rate) internally. This is because of reduced latency in the stream.
You won’t notice the difference in bit depth upon recording or maybe at all, but the larger numbers and therefore greater accuracy reduce quantization errors which can add up to digital noise.
Greater accuracy is misleading term. larger numbers don't reduce quantisation errors, they push the quantisation error below thermal limits of any analog gear. Everything you hear is produced with exact same accuracy.
So you're right for the wrong reasons here.
