news: iZotope RX released!
Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) is a necessary process when
converting material from one sampling rate (such as studio
quality 192kHz) to another rate (such as CD quality 44.1kHz).
It is common to record and edit in high sampling rates since
higher rates allow higher frequencies to be represented. For
example, a 192kHz audio sample can represent frequencies up
to 96kHz whereas a 44.1kHz audio sample can only represent
frequencies up to 22.05kHz, also known as the Nyquist
frequency.
When reducing the sampling rate, or downsampling, it is
crucial to remove the frequencies that cannot be represented
at the lower sampling rate. Leaving frequencies above this
point causes aliasing. Aliasing can be heard as the frequencies
in an inaudible range are shifted into an audible range causing
distortion and noise.
With Zotope 64bit SRC's steep lowpass filter, users can
completely avoid the common aliasing artifacts while
maintaining the maximum frequency content.
The world's first continuous control over pre
ringing and postringing
Aliasfree operation for minimal harmonic
distortion
iZotope 64bit SRC features a hybrid ringing control enabling a
compromise between the standard preringing of a linear Control filter cutoff steepness versus ringing
phase filter and the postringing of a minimum phase filter. A
continuous control morphs the algorithm from a linear phase 64bit, double precision internal processing for
filter to a minimum phase filter (shown below in an minimal noise
intermediate step).

The key step of sample rate conversion is the
lowpass filter design. The crucial aspects include a flat pass
band, steep transitionband, high suppression in the stop
band, and minimal ringing. The careful attention of iZotope's
SRC protects against the loss of data, aliasing, noise, and
unwanted ringing artifacts that plague other implementations.
