So Rob,you don't dither at all?
I've previously done mixes just at 16 bit,but i've been
wondering if I should be mixing at 24 bit then dithering down at
the end.
Thanks,
Pete

If it's loud rock stuff, I don't see the need. My meters just don't ever go
down that low for it to matter. If it's quiet accoustic music, then I dither.

Hi Deej - just to check:
you mix in paris with No Limit (settings'd be nice :)), and then take it
to soundforge to dither with L2? (Otherwise I can't see a way of getting
the L2 to dither the whole mix within Paris, at least effectively).
Thanks,
Dan

On this project, I've got NoLimit set to .09 threshold and 0.2dB limiting.
The Cubase channel faders are driving the Paris channels.
The Paris channel faders are driving the Paris submix aggressively or
mildly, depending on the song and the submix fader levels are driving the
the mix bus.

Oh yeah.......I forgot to answer your question. I'm applying L2 in Wavelab.
