I’m calling the bluff on this one. IMO It makes ABSOLUTELY no difference in sound quality to batch or to do the entire file at one time. Bits are bits no matter how ya chop them. Still 8 bits in a byte.
Let me hear an example and I will retract my statement. Other wise I'm saying you're wasting your time. Which is your time to waste I guess.
Now if ya wanna argue that one algorithm is better than the other that a whole other party.
i'm not the best to comment on this b/c i have no knowledge of the difference b/w the both. i used this workflow posted by bean:
1. open wav
2. add gain if necessary
3. 'process' then 'convert sample rate' resample to 44.1k
4. then i open the 'master section' and apply the UV22HR dither, then hit render
5. select 'whole file' and 'create new file' under the 'file' tab.
6. then hit batch
7. now hit the 'output' tab and make sure your output directory for the 16/44.1k file is going to save on the right folder
8. now in the output format box to the right, open the big box in output format and make sure the ONLY change is the 16-bit resolution box since you already resampled. I know its an extra step but its the correct way to do it.
9.if you are adding multiple files go back under the 'Input' tab and hit the folder with the + on it
10. click run and sit back
i really want to utilize the batch process feature on wavelab, but for some reason my dither/resampled files are being generated longer than the master. what am i doing wrong? i select 16/44.1 in the output box, in both plug ins, and at the bottom of the screen. ultimately i want to generate a new 16/44.1 and still have the 24/48 file to save seperately. can someone post a step by step who uses the batch process? i feel i've tried everying...i must be missing something
