ok... the place to get the files is through a gmail act.

tsdotcom I have diter test "a" up and b" in just a few minutes. They can be downloaded from the "sent" folder.
Ok... here is the test!
2 files "A" is a rock jam and "B" is a quiet acoustic jam. "A" is
from a matrix that had a fair amount of noise to start with coming off
the soundboard feed. "B" is mics only and is as clean as I have
(sorry no u87's here!)
"A" akg391's (on stage corners facing audience) + SBD > Mackie ONYX
1220 > ua-5 (for A/D only) > jb3@48/16
"B" akg391's DIN, DFC, 15' > ua-5 (d-mod only) > jb3@48/16
processes are as follows (please note I wasn't trying to improve the
sound... just random processes!)
all files:
fade in
fade out
normalize to -0.1
compress @ 2 to 1 w/-20db threshold
normalize to -0.4
master volume to +.15
convert samplerate to 44.1/16
In each of the 2 file groups I produced 4 seperate wavs
one of each has the folowing
no dithering at all
dither with the same noise/shaping after every change except the fades
(5 rounds of dither)
dither with different noise/shaping after every change except fades (5
different combinations of dither)
dither only at the end of the process during the save sequence
Bonus points is you can gues the bands, and the songs but at least song "a" is a nobrainer.
Good luck!!!
