Hey guys,
I just recieved my mastered tracks (from Sola Mastering, US) for my upcoming EP, but they were 24 bit, so I need to convert them to 16 bit. How to do it?
Alt. 1. The easiest way is to use an online coverter - surely there must be some dithering involved here, right? Can I rely on it?
Alt. 2. Uploading the 24 bits into a new project in my DAW and mixdown to 16 bit using my Steinberg dithering plugin - any chance the files might clip? Should I use a limiter as well??
Any comments/answers will be much appreciated!
Cheers, Geir from Norway
