You only need to dither once & at the final stage of exporting the master. For cd 16b, 24b dither for other formats such as mastered for iTunes.


Yup and that's exactly what happens if you keep dither option on all the time.

The other scenario is you need to dither when you import samples of a different bit rate into the project.

Hmm. Not different, just lower. If the imports are of a lower bit rate than the project, then you don't need to dither. 16 bit source audio is perfectly happy in a 24 bit environment. The only time you should ever dither anything is when reducing its bit rate.
 
 
 
 


Right - indeed lower sorry. Regardless Sonar will handle that all automatically if you keep the option on.

Thanks I was just looking for some views from other peeps so I could help out a friend who is/was confused.

I have pretty much given up dithering, and am now concentrating on doddering. I expect it will not be long before I need to consider dribbling.

I've been dribbling for years - it's the drooling I'm looking forward to.
