There’s been lots of buzz and discussion about aliasing online recently, and lots of confusion, too.

Is it a flaw in the whole idea of digital audio ? Does it explain why analogue modelling plugins can never sound exactly like the real thing ? Or is it just inaudible mathematical theorising ?

In this episode we try to answer all these questions, plus Ian attempts to give an easy visual explanation of what aliasing is and how it relates to audio, with - er… questionable results.

Along the way discuss:

* What wagon wheels have to do with audio sampling

* And vinyl turntables

* And digital audio

* How (and why) to avoid aliasing

* Why high sample rates may help and

* Why all this is important when using plugins
