Reducing (eliminating) non-linear distortion typical of digital quantization noise. Main effect of dithering is to reduce (or, in case of type1, virtually eliminate) allĬorrelation between the quantization noise and the original signal, thus More closely resemble analog hiss, rather than digital quantization noise. Therefore, each can be used separately toĭithering is done in order to change the character of the quantization noise to Responsible for the improvement of a different subjective quality of the noise Techniques to improve the perceived quality of sound after it has been requantized.Īs will be explained here in some detail, each technique is noise e is more of a preference thing.analog or digital-self explanatoryĭithering and Noise shaping are two independent, but complementary, You were right about the dither stuff.if you are going to cd.the dither setting should be 16. L1 settings arent dither settings.they are compression settings.Ĭonventional wisdom is to do ALL edits, fades, effects.BEFORE resampling and dithering.because you will have started with more information.thus more to work with=better.Īgain just listen to the different ones. It is a matter of preference.let your ears tell you which sounds better.but there isnt one that is"better"functionally.they all do the same s just the way that noise is applied to the signal that is different.ĭithering/resampling is necessary to go from say 24 bit to cd (redbook is the industry term for cd audio) because cd is 16/44.1 so you would resample say if it was 24/96 you would RESAMPLE the 96 to 44.1 and then DITHER from 24 to 16. There are sonic differences in the dithering algorithms.I prefer Waves IDR.but Apogee UV22 is also very nice(it is what apogee uses on all their products.they invented it). You cant go down in bit depth without dithering.thats what dithering is so it isnt a generally accepted is the only truth. Resampling.changing the sample rate-ie from 44.1 to 96 I know that's alot of questions, but I think they're all related.I hope.Thanx in advance to any response to any or all these questions.ĭithering-changing the bit depth.ie from 24-16 If I'm already using the L1 as my limiter, since it has Dithering settings in each pre-set, does that mean I'm already dithering, or do I need to also access Wavelab's Dithering section and select a Dithering program seperate from that?
If I should dither, then is there a difference in programs? Wavelab has an "Internal" dithering, but also gives the option of using Apogee's UV22HR, WAVES IDR and the Waves L1.
#WAVES L2 ULTRAMAXIMIZER HARDWARE MANUAL#
The manual says that any time I go down in bit rate (24 to 16, etc.) I should dither. My question pertains more specifically to Wavelab. I should say that I've read what it does and realise why it's needed. Well, "understand" is stretching it, I don't think I "understand" much. I did a search first but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for.
