SoX is still better across the board.
Not by much the sox14.4 vhq linear phase seems better overall-besides the phase and impulse snaps-bit of strangeness there.
From what i see izotope rx adv2 (high steepness) seems the champ=much closer to ideal filter measure?

Phase is perfectly linear in SoX Linear Phase.

Impulse pre-ringing is normal for all linear phase resamplers, including RX's.


The question here is: can RX's high steepness be used in realtime? SoX can. Plus, SoX is free.

Which VST? What I want to hear (pun intended) is the sample rate conversions themselves (the one ED is speaking of) being audible in any real-world scenario, period. Not some obscure test or exception, but converting normal content, in a normal use situation that shows this problem.

No, debating means continuing it, not just offering something to chew on. So with that, you guys have fun with the numbers and minutia ignoring what your ears tell you.

Maybe EvilDragon is the once just offering something to chew on, and you're the one continuing it. How do we know who's really doing which?

In the real world, sample-rate-conversion isn't always the final step. Subsequent processing may bring formerly-inaudible differences to the foreground.

Apologies-I meant the sox intermediate phase
Perhaps a new mutant will be born.
Any improvements always welcomed here,as most people just want to forget about this type of nonsense and make music without worrying over qaulities on outputs.

Pretty easy to figure out if that's really what you want to know, I offered him something, he offered me something, then he and I moved on. That's what he and I have successfully done for years now.

I'm just offering something to chew on, but you keep debating.

@ EvilDragon-just post 2 working examples to state case-if point is proven-case then has weight to justify.
I mean,come on,this thread is years old-I can see where your coming from< wanting improvements that don't seem to happen as wished for.
Dreams are for dreamers-but dreams can become the realities of the dreamers if they make them so..sometimes the `dreams` become `nightmares` that never seem to go away,because 1 has no control over them.

You can easily hear the difference at Sony's research centre in their OXFR3 control room on their flagship monitors.

Bumping this one since we're on the cusp of 6.0, SoX resampling would be a hugely useful addition to Reaper.

Not sure how it stacks up to SoX but the dev behind Voxengo has a free SRC library up on GitHub which might also be of interest here: https://github.com/avaneev/r8brain-free-src

The Voxengo one also suffers from the issue of not supporting dynamic rate changes. (There's not even a lower quality mode that would support that.)
