"2X" button ramifications

[Starship Krupa]

If I have a plug-in set to upsample on render, does turning the 2X button off affect rendering? Or does it only affect things when you have playback upsampling enabled?

My reading of the documentation is that the button enables/disables whichever upsampling mode(s) you have enabled for a given plugin:

So you would say that the answer to my question is yes, it does affect rendering?

Since the documentation doesn't say that explicitly I'm not 100% sure. It would be useful to know for sure.

To me it's pretty well expected that a button that is intended to globally enable/disable a function will affect all instances and modes of that function.  If it didn't affect one mode, it wouldn't be very useful, and the alternative would be to go through all plugins in the project and individually disable Upsample On Render, which would be a nightmare, and could justifiably be called a bug.

Performing a null test of a track rendered both ways should give you the answer. Just make sure it's a plugin that renders repeatably in a given mode.
