Hi Presto> when using foobar, I prefer to do no upsampling *IF* I am doing convolution or PC crossover plugins. If not doing convolution, then using the PC for crossover functions is fine - quite good sounding actually.
~ Due to over high demands on the processor, causing pops etc?> If doing convolution, I prefer to use outboard passive crossovers (or at least an outboard digitial active crossover). It seems that once you start doing more and more *different* digital processes (aka plugins) it seems the "effect" of doing all this processing seems to be cumulative.
Another approach is room correction with a Behringer DEQ2496 street price $300??

which would free up resources for other things> Upsampling seems to have a high "penalty to performance" ratio at the best of times, where convolution offers far greater benefits and a surprisingly low penalty.
Is the penalty ~ pops etc?Cheers
