Cool, I assumed there'd be many techniques out there.
Do any of you know the advantages and disadvantages between "/oversampling + filtering/" and the other techniques?
Apart from the explanations already provided, I also think (as usual) that it depends on the use case... Lots of bandlimiting examples assume one wants to do a 20Hz to 20kHz 'smooth' sweep - which might not always be the case (I'm not sure how common that is with saw, square etc. (I guess pure sine has more applications for that)). For a saw-sounding synth sound one could just use a wavetable with some filters, etc.
There are even some people who might use aliasing and its sound characteristics as a 'feature' for its distinctive 'harsh' timbre :-)
