Re: recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24b

If I want to "normalize" my 24bit recording (set at 24bit default) will this dither?
I don't think it needs dither?
Thanks

Re: recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24b

I'm recording some internet radio, I set it myself to record at a sample rate of 96000, and the default is 32float, on export I select 24bit FLAC / 96000. Does the 32bit float recording use dither when exported at 24bit?, I'm unsure if this is actually a sample rate 'conversion'. It's not a sample ...

Re: MME / Windows Direct Sound - speed problems?

You said MME resamples all audio to 44.1. I just loaded in a 16bit/48000 file, then a 24bit/48000 file and then a 24bit/96000 file, changed the speed of each by +1% and exported. I had to select the .wav to export as 24bit, but loaded into Audacity the bottom left showed the sample rates correctly ...

Re: MME / Windows Direct Sound - speed problems?

I do not even see a "sound" option in my Windows Control Panel You can read about the Windows "Sound" control panel here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#vistacp . The speed problems can affect recording or (more rarely) playback. They can arise with MME (or in a somewhat sim...

Re: MME / Windows Direct Sound - speed problems?

Thanks for the answer... I rarely use playback as I burn most to media as I like to keep hard copies, and listen on my audio system, so I really can't say what playback is like..., I really only use it when "editing" and not "listening". Have done a loads of "speed change" editing so I hope they're ...

MME / Windows Direct Sound - speed problems?

Hello. I just read in an old thread that using MME can cause some speed problems? I don't really understand this... I mainly have used Audacity for changing the speed of recordings... And have used MME in the past... So I'm wondering what it means? Here's what I read..... I really didn't think MME w...

dither when "swapping L+R channels"

Hi.
I'm simply swapping L+R channels of a 44.1/16bit recording, so the left becomes right and right becomes left...
I'm 99% sure I do NOT need dither on for this?, am I correct?
Thanks

Re: default "quality" setting 1.2.6 and 2.0

Thanks for confirming each versions default uses the best quality possible for conversion..., saves me from checking the defaults through all the versions I have used. I know it only seems logical for the default to be the best quality possible, however I was really thrown off track when I downloade...
