You asked this question on the main forum recently, though not wording it the same way.

The answer I suggest is no, I don't believe it is important in the real world. You can go chasing aliasing issues (that might upset bats) if you like, it won't help you make better tracks and smoother sounding recordings.

Of course some synths allow you to control this within the plugin, such as Reaktor synths. Just go with the synths you like the sound of.

i also needed to learn if there's a way to learn at what bit rate/sample rate is the sound that its produced by Reasynth in reaper for example

for example if i put a project sample rate of 192K does that mean that reasynth gives me 192K sample rate when i record something with it?

Why do you need to know that?
Ask each and every software house what their specific plugins are doing internally, some might tell you if they did the work themselves!

In Reaper all plugins are set to run at the project sample rate. (They may internally oversample or whatever, but they have to output at the project sample rate.)

I do pretty much all my work at 44.1Khz. If effects or synths don't work properly at that rate, they are just broken and I won't bother with them.
