you'd SRC to 44.1khz and from there export your to the final 16bit format with dithering applied. So for example lets say your track is mastered and no other processing is to be done on it. You only dither at the point you are stepping down to a lower bit depth. SRCs (sample rate conversions) are unrelated to dither rules as dithering relates to bit depth conversions. 96k was more intended for video application where 48k is final format. I prefer 88.2k as there are occasional quality benefits to working at an even multiple of your final product. For most people that's 44.1khz, but a lot of the top pros work at higher sample rates like 88.2k or 96k. for best quality (despite the fact that DAWs like ableton will allow you to just drop it in) convert any audio files in your projects all to the same sample rate. The final 2 stages should be SRC then dither to 16bit.įor anyone wondering about this stuff.



The final downsampling from 88.2 -to-> 44.1 must be done before or after the limiter/ditering?įor anyone wondering about this stuff.
