I'm happy to see that many people do care about quality of audio. I'm amused at the proportions of this thread.


I don't quite get your latest post though...

So then...that tells me that quantization distortion (caused by truncation) equals a dulling of the signal. When the entire signal becomes less linear, I'm now thinking that it results in a loss of detail...a "warming" of the sound.

I do not consider the influence of truncation as something "warm". It might create an illusion of "clear", but not "warm". I have never heard anything dull with trunctaion. Only loss of information and an overall tinier soundscape.

You guys (yourself & UnderTow) are of the mindset that it creates digital harshness, right?

If I am "yourself" in the above quote, yes I consider truncation to create digital harshness (and in some cases "tiny-ness"). And I consider dithered versions to "keep" more of the musical information. I'm only interested in the musical information and not in distortion that simply does not provide anything musical.

Hi mark.

You mean playback while in Sonar sounds different (better) than exported stereofile?

If so - oh god, yes, this is an everlasting pain in the butt. But as soon the discussion rises there are FLAMES THROWN saying "impossible", "no way", "they'll null" and so on.

If this is what you mean...

Hi mark.

.

I had this problem until i bought R8Brain Pro samplerate converter.Sonars sample rate conversion is good but not great, and my mixes would loose a little of their sparkle,punch, and a tiny lose of high frequencies.

P.S. Thats if he's samplerate converting at export.
