I haven't done much yet, other than confirm my original results and review my previous testing. Also, be aware that the K-XX meters read higher than they should on very low level material, though here to, the "headroom" indicators seem to be accurate. The Vertical Level Meter will allow you set the minimum level down to -144. Which IXL meters did you use? The Horizontal Level Meter and Multimeter do not read low enough, other than in the little headroom boxes. JT: I'm not contesting your results (yet). Summary: When working with 24-bit files in WaveBurner there is absolutely NO difference when using "bounce" and "no bounce", stereo interleaved or dual-mono source files! Should dispel any ideas about WaveBurner as a suitable master burning application!Įdit: this test also proves there is no double dither applied when leaving the dither box checked in prefs, and doing a "bounce project" procedure before the burn, since the dithering is applied during the "bounce" (either temporary or "bounce project") rather than the burn. The Result: MUCH TO MY SURPRISE a perfect null in ALL instances, tested with Inspector XL. I also compared the stereo interleaved burns with dual mono burns. Loaded the Test Song, 24-bit dual mono AIFF into WaveBurner (v1.2.1). So the light went off above my head (still does at times) and repeated the same tests with 24-bit Dual Mono aka. The Result: a perfect null, tested with Inspector XL.Īlso ran the same null test with soundBlade, same result.
#Waveburner dithering pro#
Loaded the song from both CDs into Pro Tools and did the null test. Loaded the Test Song, a 24-bit stereo interleaved AIFF into WaveBurner (v1.2.1).īurned the song with NO bounce to a CD with 24>16-bit dithering.īurned the song WITH bounce (bounce project) to a CD with 24>16-bit dithering. The results might be of some interest to my WB friends : - )
So I decided to repeat the battery of WB null tests with 24-bit source files, which iirc is the way most of us PT/WB using MEs work anyway. Here's a link to that "fateful" WB thread: It occurred to me that the previous WB null tests from a few months ago had been done with 16-bit source files only, rather than 24-bit files. Since I'm not one to let sleeping dogs lie, I did some more Null Testing with WaveBurner tonight.
