Subject:More questions reguarding 16 and 24 bit recording... Posted by: tokilicious Date:7/11/2001 4:46:38 PM Okay let's say for instant that I record at 48khz at 24 bit... How do I convert that information to where it'll still retain awesome sound quality and be able to record onto a CD at 16 bit @ 44.1 Khz? Someone had told me that dither is prbably the best solution, any suggestions? Thanks.
Subject:RE: More questions reguarding 16 and 24 bit recording... Reply by: Ted_H Date:7/12/2001 9:49:03 AM There is a "Resample" function and a "Bit Depth Converter" in the Process menu. You can also just go to "Save As" in the File menu, and change the "Attributes" to the desired bitrate and sample rate. Ted

Subject:RE: More questions reguarding 16 and 24 bit recording... Reply by: Sonic Date:7/12/2001 5:33:32 PM Two different operations are involved. First, do Process->Resample from 48 -> 44.1 kHz at a reasonably high quality with the anti-alias filter enabled. Then do Process->Bit-Depth Converter and select 16-bit. You can experiment with dither and noise-shaping options, but triangular or highpass triangular dither with one of the noise shapers is usually a good choice. If you just use File->Properties or the status bar context menu to change the sampling rate, that's all you'll do, change the rate. You won't resample the data. If you just use File->Properties, the status bar context menu, or File->SaveAs for the new bit-depth, no dithering or noise-shaping will be performed, which is usually undesireable. Clear? J.
