Re: What is an anti aliasing filter? (Nero Wave Editor 3)

ALWAYS choose the slowest, highest quality, most accurate, etc anti-aliasing filter.

When you convert, little "stair-steps" are left in the digital audio. These are unnatural / non-musical and can cause the glassy swishy effect you hear in MP3s.

Anti-aliasing attempts to smooth those out.. the more time you give it, the better, more natural-sounding job it can do.
