Can anyone tell me what the best settings are for exporting? Like, what sample rate? Or, should I turn on dither? (can someone explain dither please? lol) and would it be better if it was exported in AIF/AIFF or WAV? that's another big one. thanks so much!! __     26-08-2008 01:35 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  Sample rate: - if you want to publish on CD or on the internet using a flash player: 44.1kHz - if you want to convert to lossy format (eg MP3): 44.1kHz or 48kHz (mind that 48kHz is not compatible with Flash) - if you want to publish on DVD or vinyl: 96kHz Dither: - this is a system that increases the fidelity of very soft sounds (reverb tails etc) at low bit depths (16 bit) by adding a bit of noise to the audio. I have explained this in another thread, use the search AIFF or WAV does not make any difference, just pick one. They are just different container formats for the same data. __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

I posted a lot today (for me, anyway) and search all of them but I guess I either skipped this one or I just wasn't thorough... thanks a lot for replying anyway. really, this was a little thing but one of many frustrating me tonight in my tunes. PROPS TO YOU! PEACE peace peace !!!!!!!! __     26-08-2008 05:56 Sentinel Mr. Grumpy Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 845 Helpfulness rating:  Reason only has 2 output rates. 44,100 16bit with the option of dither. Or 44,100 24bit. 44,100 24bit is higher quality than the 16bit with dither. sorted. Dither is usually used if you are downsizing from 24bit to 16bit you add dither as it's supposed to add noise or something - can't remember - to keep the track playing smooth. __ 28-08-2008 00:46 you_are_a_noise Cool Tourist Registration Date: 13-02-2007 Posts: 37 Helpfulness rating:  thanks sentinel!! __     28-08-2008 04:10 cynik Cp6uja Registration Date: 15-03-2005 Posts: 5,646 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by TheSentinel Reason only has 2 output rates. 44,100 16bit with the option of dither.
