Any update on reaper and 176k?

3

Wow, 176 kHz? We’ll definitely take a look. Off the top of my head, we’re not aware of many users working at that sample rate. When recording drift cars for a major video game, we used 192 kHz and 32 bit depth to give ourselves plenty of headroom without worrying about unexpected SPL spikes. Beyond specialised applications like that -or perhaps processing recordings from high-end digital microphones in spaces such as the V&A Hall - I’m curious what workflow is driving the need for 176 kHz in a DAW.

Audiophile quality recordings of acoustic instruments with analogue mics (Schoeps, B&K).

5

Interesting @Tristan would you mind checking this on Monday please?

6

At the moment, SEQ crashes when I close the GUI.

The higher sample rates make a difference on the clarity of instruments with a lot of delicate top end.

A simple test is to record a 12-string at 44.1k, and then 176k and then listen back and compare while focusing on the top end.

Hi Any update to the crash situation?

8

Hi @gregb We’ve confirmed it. Can’t give you any ETA at the moment but will have some news soon!

9

Is there any update yet?

10

Hi

I bought this plugin on the not unreasonable assumption that it had no critical bugs.

I have never been able to use this plugin.

Any update?

Is the bug fixed in the Pro version?

HI @gregb, I’m going to DM you a link to Scaler EQ Pro to see if it resolves the issue for you. We’ve tested export at all sample rates without issue.
FYI Scaler EQ Pro is well beyond Scaler EQ in terms of tech, pre and post filter decay and build up. Sounds much better overall and Bass and HF Compressors are fantastic - so well worth using it.
