Newb question time

[Pedro Teixeira]

This is a really simple question, say you only have a L2 on your 2bus, doing nothing basically just there to prevent clipping, there are options that are on by default like:

Quantize : 24bits
Dither: Type 1
Shaping: Normal

Should I disable Dither as well as shaping? Since I want say to bounce 24bit wav.

Yeah, if you're not going down to 16 bits then definitely keep dither off, no need to introduce extra noise! (and that's all it is, meant to mask very slight quantization errors)

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Yeah, that's what I thought it would introduce extra noise for no reason, thanks!

reading the manual gives you some good explanation
