Why does Cubase have such terrible quality sample rate conversion?

Sorry the way i understood your post was that it was too difficult. My apologies.

regardless, i think it’ actually a very simple task according to a dsp programmer i have been talking to about the issue.

Arbitrary is what he called it, particularly in the case where the algorithm is already done… we are not talking about steinberg writing their own new SR algorithm… THAT’S what would be difficult and very time consuming (and pointless since perfect ones like izotope already exist).

PS i am happy to work with spitfire at 48KHZ but funny cause i often work at 88k so still, unnecessary upsampling then back…

still, since almost everything else i have at 44k i’d be converting everything… which is why i want a better algorithm.

The fact that one can humanly hear the quality it is concerning.

I think it’s a fair request as it’ stayed the same for a decade… apple thought it was important enough to drastically fix it themselves in newer OSX versions which is what logic uses.

In fact steinberg would do better just to use apple’s algorithm from OSX.
