Dither
Dither is a dither-generation plug-in. The Dither plug-in minimizes quantization artifacts when reducing the bit depth of an audio signal to 16-, 18-, or 20-bit resolution.
Dither is available in Native and AudioSuite formats.
Dither supports all Pro Tools | First sample rates.
Dither operates as a mono, multi-mono, or stereo plug-in.
Dither
Whenever you are mixing down or bouncing to disk and your destination bit depth is lower than 24-bit, insert a dither plug-in on a Master Fader track that controls the output mix.
Using a dither plug-in on a Master Fader is preferable to an Auxiliary Input because Master Fader inserts are post-fader. As a post-fader insert, the dither plug-in can process changes in Master Fader level.
For more information on using dither plug-ins in Pro Tools, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
The Dither plug-in has user-selectable bit resolution and a noise shaping on/off option.
If you are mixing down to an analog destination with any 24-bit capable interface, you do not need to use Dither. This allows maximum output fidelity from the 24-bit digital-to-analog converters of the interface.
