Topic: Wavelab 5.0 How to create a matrix mix (tutorial link inside)...

[T.J.]

okay, i now need to figure something out. when i mixed my two sources the sample size changed from 16 to 32 bit ( i guess b/c i rendered two 16 bit sources) anyway, how do i change this back to 16 bit in wavelab 5.0? i'm assuming this will change the quality of the wav file

it works with 32 bit float..you do a dither to get from 32 to 16(in the master section, choose your dither scheme, then render...). if you want to change that  32 bit float option..
go to options>preferences>file and youll see a drop down menu.

thanks for the response teddy. i tried to dither my file to 16 bit, but i haven't been able to do it. i am learning how to use wavelab, so i must be doing something wrong. i have opened my wav file, selected to dither, intern, noise type (off), noise shape (off), and output bit resolution (16). i click on render and chose the whole file. when i did an analysis using the bit meter the file is still 32 bits. what am i doing wrong?

Very nice tutorial Mike! +T
 Does anyone know to do this Wavelab 3.0? My brother n law gave this version  to me and I would like to do a couple matrix's if I can . Everything seems to be very close 3.0 vs 5.0

you have to select the file header within the sub menu as well...do "create new file" and then there is a drop down list that will show you the different options.
