dBTP = decibel true peak
ISP = another name for true peak
So I'm one of the self taught laymen out here :p I never took a course in making music digitally or watched extremely comprehensive tutorials... Can someone explain this to me in some simple words,
*I have extreme frustration in math
Why does it have to be oversampled when using a limiter? (is there a setting to change the audio settings when editing the project file (not the exported file) in 44.1 kHz to other rates?)
And the bit depth, what does it do? I always see 24 bit for music production (is there a setting in lmms tho?)
I only see the setting in changing the bit depth and the sample rate upon export and not on while editing the song
I do not know what is Nyquist rate, the other maths in music production and what do they do or why they are important, might probably quit this hobby lmao bruh

- Digital limiters without oversampling (or other ways of detect ISP) will react to the digital waveform, not the true waveform, and thus won’t react as a limiter should react. This does not mean it will sound bad in any way, just that it doesn’t react as intended.
- -Tip: If you want to work with limiters that lack oversampling; up-sample your 44.1 or 48KHz projects to a higher sample rate and by that have the limiter react more accurately. <- is this possible in LMMS?
- We’ll most probably have a loudness standard for streaming media within a couple of years and that standard will be ISP aware and set at -1dBTP. This means that if your audio peak at +2dBTP it will be turned down by at least -3dB before reaching the end user. All that extra loudness you gained by letting random equipment create a positive peak (that might distort) will be lost.
- Encoding to lossy formats; ISP will make it harder for encoders to do a good job. If you don’t have the tools or knowledge to check how your audio will perform post-encoding I would recommend to stay away from positive True Peaks.
- It’s not recommended to use any of the limiters with a positive score in 44.1KHz projects. They should handle ISP better as your sample rate goes up. (The list is on the website article I linked below)
