LOL Ed, Your modestly and humor is always welcome... :)

Good clarification and just in time!! I never thought to convert to 24 bit for the manipulation - process - dither and convert back to 16 bit. What an excellent idea!! Now I've got info from 2 "experts" and that's all I need...other than a bigger hard drive for all these conversions... :p...

I like... ...the healthy discussion here. :) Maybe a "test" is in order?? I can bounce the DSP applied 16 bit files with and without dither and post short .wav snippets to my website. Just a thought. The last time I "mastered" a CD bootleg (which was a direct transfer from tape to CD using...

ummmmmm... I did follow it but there was one important distinction... Some said no need to dither 16 bit audio AT ALL...even during the final transfer. Sonusmans advice is to always apply some form of dither when using DSP - which was my original question.... Maybe I read them incorrectly...

I read that article... Which is why I assumed my assumption :p was indeed correct. I also DID read your post correctly about the effects of DSP on 16 bit audio... ...I was not questioning it - rather seeing if it also applies to this situation. :) I am transferring very clean audio tape at 16...

Interesting... I'm recalling a post from Sonusman stating dithering should also be used with other manipulations. (other than conversion from 24 to 16 bit) I was unaware the DSP algorhythms do not truncate the bit depth. Thanks guys... zip >>

Hmmmmm... According to what I have researched you also need to dither whenever performing manipulations to the audio...EQ, compression etc...as a last step so the bits are not truncated after the algorhythm is performed. The only reason I am saving this to CDR is to protect against a hard...

Hey! Long time no post... (been swamped at school) I'm pretty up to date on dithering (dither once after all digital manipulations) but I'm doing something different here and wanting to check my assumption. I'm transferring cassette media to a digital format using a Motu and preparing to...

yeah... ...we beat this thread with a stick didn't we?? LOL

Ha! Punctuation Plugin...LOL

ok... "if you can learn how to reproduce the sounds that t-racks gives a mix with the presets using plugins then do that.." ...not only can they be reproduced but they can be improved and made DIFFERENT...which is my whole beef with T-racks...

Pisces... One has to love your diligence! :D

A while back there was a discussion about the various codecs and the resulting quality. Someone posted a great link to a data comparison... Does anyone have this link? I'm in a debate about it with someone and I'm looking for some data... Thanks! zip >>

And now.... ...for something completely different... I'll whip u both whit da chains stickin outta my head!! ;);) Kidding! Have fun and I'm back to contributing... ...sorry about the delay... ...please fasten your seatbelts and make sure your seatbacks and tray tables are in the upright...

Re: Re: Read these... :) Why? Too much info or you were doing it all wrong?? ;) so i could take you on anyday zip! I am a legend in my own mind.....;) LOL zip >> fenix... I've never had a compressed pussy before...is it any better??;):D

Yes... You could probably get a bit better results with Wavelab or Logic but Soundforge will definitely work. Use the plug-in chainer... Chain up all the plugs and put the limiter last in the chain... Do you have version 5 or 4.5? I've had both so I may be able to help with the details if...

Well... If you really want to do at-home mastering the first thing you need to do is make a DUPLICATE of the premastered mix. Reason...when you screw up (and you will) you don't want all your hard work to be lost. Second...most times you want to limit a final mix - not compress it. For a "do...

OK kids settle down ;) "damn there are even some "celebrities" here " Or this Celeb will pummel you both! ;) LOL
