So my question is this

i use either a roland 2480 or Cubase as my main recording environment
SX 2 i should specify.

So should i set my projects up as 44.1/24bit? and then mix down or "dither" (still not sure how or when this works) to 16 bit so i can play on a CD?

the real question is, is there noticeable sound quality improvement?

thanks

I have some tracks that are originally 16 bit, wondering what the benefits or consequences would be to convert to 24 bit to mix and then reconvert & dither to 16 bit for CD burning? Thanks for all opinions!

Anyone using it as title.

How do you know that you are really recording at 24 bits? :roll:

Is there a way to check it?

I'm new here, so I don't know if you have already discussed about this before... probably you have! I'm from Argentina so excuse my awkard english.

What recording lvl do professionals record into PRO TOOLS at 24 bit 48. Because when I record at 0 DB THE WAVE FORMS Are so big and blobby, But when I look at professional done projects before on Pro Tools the wave forms look small on the screen. - aron

OK.This is a little weird and I should know this, but I really am not sure. :confused:

I've read up about taking 24bit audio down to 16bit without loosing the sonic clarity of the original composision. My DAW software has the Apogee UV-22 algorithm included. Is this used or is there some other method? Or is this process considered as truncating or dithering? :w:

I have a couple simple questions I have never gotten a good response on...

1. Should I normalize tracks after I record them. Back in the day I normalized everything and I think I got some pretty good results. I have heard that normalization can introduce unwanted noise, but personally haven't run into that situation yet. If not, when should you normalize?
