Overview
The oversampling section is an important part of the signal chain. It allows the plugin to increase the sample rate of the signal, which can help to reduce aliasing during distortion. Oversampling will also increase the CPU usage of the plugin, so it is recommended to use the lowest oversampling rate that still sounds good.
Take note
The oversampling stage only applies to the distortion stage. The rest of the signal chain is unaffected.
The Oversampling Section can be found in the Hamburger V2 plugin, and is located in the bottom left corner of the plugin window.
Parameters
There is only one parameter in the Oversampling Section, which is the Oversampling Factor. Here are the possible oversampling rates:
1x (default)
- Keep the original signal's sample rate.
2x
- Double the sample rate of the signal.
4x
- Quadruple the sample rate of the signal.
8x
- Octuple the sample rate of the signal.
16x
- Sixteen times the sample rate of the signal.
Another reminder to be wary of using high sample rates on weak computer systems. 16x oversampling literally translates to 16 times the sample rate of the signal, which can be a lot of extra processing power for your computer to handle. If you're using a weak computer, it's recommended to use the lowest oversampling rate that still sounds good.
If you don't want weird low end rumbly noises while you're absolutely mangling your sound, then oversampling is critical for you.
