Let’s talk about oversampling (lemm.ee)

When I first started noticing oversampling options in my plugins, I turned them up as high as my cpu allowed by default. “It must sound better, right?” But lately, I’ve started noticing that oversampling in most of my plugins kills the transients and punchiness in a way that make it not worth using. Am I crazy or has anyone else experienced this? What situations do you find oversampling useful?

Oversampling in the plugins shouldn't have a drastic effect on transients, while oversampling the whole chain could. You might want to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jCwIsT0X8M

Oversampling in the plugins does have a drastic effect though. That was the point of my post

Oversampling within the plugin in general shouldn't kill the transients, though. E.g. you shouldn't lose the punch just by oversampling the EQ to prevent it from cramping.
