Ok, i am about to prove how novice i am. Several of the programs and hardware i've come across cam process audio at higher sampling rates and bit rates than CD format 44.1/16 bit. I have recorded songs at 48k, and 24 bit, only to find myself unable to "bounce" it back to 44.1/16 bit.
Is dithering the process i'm out of touch on?
Confused, and thanks for any help.

I have been using the pow-R dither on the master fader when bouncing down in PTLE, I have definatly noticed a difference in the audio. Generally I have been using 16 bit & Noise type 1. Do any of you have preferences for the other noise types ?

Is it smarter to use the 20 bit dither when boucing down ?

What is the point of recording at 192 htz or 96 htz when you have to dither everything down to 44.1htz to burn it to a CD? Does it sound better? I don’t understand why to buy a 24 bit 192 htz vs 24 bit 92 htz if you dither down to burn a CD? I am thinking of gettting the Aleis 24xz but it only records up to 96khz.

I am writing in this forum to find out the details of dithering from 24/96 to 16/44.

I've always been somewhat skeptical on this topic, and I hope someone can inform me of any mistakes I may be making.

Hope this is the right forum...
I am trying to use my Waves L2 plug to dither in Sound Forge. After I render the file, it still shows as a 24 bit wave. If I dither thru Sound Forge, it will then show 16 bit. Will Sound Forge allow you to use a plugin for dithering instead of theirs?
Thanks

I have been reading a lot of articles explaining dither (because I didn't understand what that setting did in my sequencer program) and I now have a good understand about what dither is but none of the articles have cleared this up?

When recording at 24-bit does dither need to be used if the dynamic range is small and the peak levels around -6Bd?

Hello,

Just out of curiosity would like to know what each of the members here on RO use for recording if the final goal the usual 44.1 16 bits...

Do you guys use 44.1, 48, 88 or 96 kHz ? And if so why ? If using higher sampling frequencies than 44.1 what dithering tools do you use ?

Thanks in advance

Greetings Forumsters -

I'll make this quick

The book I have, Cubase SX/SL3 power, by Robert Guerin, says SL3 comes with the "UV22 dither plugin ," which is apparently located in the 'other VST effects' submenu.

I can't find it, granted I'm not an experienced user.

Anyone out there found it? if so what's the map to get there?

Thanks
Keith
