OK so somewhere you need to sample rate convert the file (from 48 KHz to 44.1 KHz) and you also need to "dither it" down to 16 bits if you are doing CDs. You can use the sample rate converter built into WL then do the dithering with the bulit in dither plug-ins in the master section and then "render" the file. Simply saving it as another file with different attributes will NOT work.



Please let me know if this makes sense?

Yes but you still have to sample rate convert it and dither it before saving it. We have been using WL since version 1.6 and we turn out a heck of a lot of mastered CDs and you can't just SAVE a file with different attributes with out processing it.

Yes you must pick your dither and select the sample rate conversion. I mainly use either the Apogee or wave L2 dither and conversion. But in the render menu you can select to a new file and set up its bit rate and sampling rate, and yes Thomas is right this only tells wave lab what type of file is going render it too, it does not dither or change the sampling rate.



The UV dither comes in a few flavors. One just adds the dither, and the other can change the sampling rate which one are you using?
