I hear you there. I cant afford it yet either. When I get some more experience under my belt and figure out samplitude, I will probably get it. I switch back and forth between POW-R 3 dither and UV22HR..I like them both a lot. A mastering engineer I know swears by the Dither in SF8, and hes been mastering since 75, so that intrigues me...I might try that one out. I do love wavelab too. Cant wait for 6.
Which Samp. do you have??I have 7. I got it from a fella for 200 bucks, because he bought nuendo.
Cept for its big brother, sequoia of course. www.sequoiadigital.com..
You are right on Sequoia but I'm not shelling out another 500. :0)
doesnt samp. have dithering/downsampling mastering features??
Yes but you gotta love the Apogee UV22 algorythym on wavlab. :0) Technically I think Soundforge has the best downsampling because of the anti-alias filter but I just use the wavlab to do both.
