Title: 96/24 files to 44/16 with Soundforge 10
Post by: celtic on January 25, 2013, 08:24:23 AM: What are the best settings for Resampleing and Dithering files with Soundforge 10??

You resample first and then dither??

Bit Depth - 16 bit
Dither - MBIT +
Noise Shaping - None
Dither Amount - Normal

Seems to work pretty well for me.

Post by: F.O.Bean on January 26, 2013, 12:30:12 AM: I would resampler THEN dither. How do you know which one it does first if it does it at "same" time?

I use the following sequence:
For Bit Depth I use the Izotope Bit Depth set to - 16 bit, Dither - MBIT +, Noise Shaping - ultra, Dither Amount - Normal, and I also check the silence harmonics box.

For Respampling I use the Izotope SRC plugin set to the simplified setting with the slider moved all the way to highest quality. and as Bean stated I always resmple before doing the bit depth processing. It is always better to do all you processing in 24bit before changing to 16bit. Although I doubt any of use would know the difference without test equipment to show it.

Peace OOK

Post by: Marshall7 on January 27, 2013, 05:55:51 PM: Well, if that's what you're doing...why aren't you setting the bit depth to 24 bits? This way aren't you're doing the exactly the same thing I am, except for the diffrent noise shaping setting?

Maybe I misunderstood the question. I thought he was asking what are the best bit depth settings going from 24 bit to 16bit.
