Which is better to do first, and why?


Also, could someone give easy steps for both in WaveLab?


Thanks!

I'm not much help w/Wavelab...I'm used to soundforge 6.

Sorry for the mis-information.  Thanks guys for correcting me.    :iamwithstupid:

Same here. I heard that WaveLab's resample & dither are better than SF and would like to cut out an extra app if I can.

Any specific reason as to why its better to dither first then resample?

No, no, NO! Sorry to sound like a dick about this, but this is incorrect. You always want to work at the highest bit-depth possible. Any calculations you do (like resampling, normalizing, plugins, ANYTHING) are more accurate when done at the higher bit depth.

Dithering is the LAST step before mastering a CD.

Lee:
definately resample first, than dither.
