But if you sampled a 10khz sine and a 10khz square wave, it'll still come out exactly the same. Having a higher sampling rate will yield better/closer to the original results, which was the point of the original post IIRC. -->Neil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil Bradley In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is not Synthcom Systems, Inc. king - he's a prisoner.
