sorry for the highjack, but i have a similar question. i just got audacity to dither something to 16 bit. it was already at 44 so i just need to dither. anyway i figured out how to get it to 16 bit, but my question is...
you go file>preferences>quality. you set the rate to 44, the format to 16, but then there is...
1. real time sample rate converter: high quality or fast sinc (i chose high quality)
2. high quality sample rate converter: high quality or fast sinc (i chose high quality)
3. real time dither: none, rectangle, triangle, shaped (i chose none). this is what confused me and there was no explaination of what the choices ment in the help section
4. high quality dither: none, rectagle, triangle, shaped (i chose shaped). again i have no idea what the difference is, no explaination in the help section.
i set it all to this and exported the files to wav. compared them to the 24/44 and they sound fine, just want to make sure i didn't do something wrong before i burn them.
