Topic: Wavelab dithering

[Joe w.]

I have done some research and checked every where i could and can't figure out why......after i dither my 24 bit file, i still have a 24 bit file. I selected uv22hr from the dither box, and 16 from the pop up box. Am i missing something? It seems to run through it's process and then nothing but the same 24 bit file.

DO you name the file in the process?

After you've selected your dither type (UV22HR), the 2nd dither box pops up.  You select your parameters (normal, 16).  Sounds like you've gotten that far.

Then you click render on the original box (where you selected the dither type).

That brings up another box where you can name the new file.  There's a pulldown box just below the file name.  Select Wav 16 bit
Then OK.

Maybe you were missing the part where you 'render' or perhaps where the rendered file is set to 16 bit?

yes. i name the original. and i tried both the options for either a new file or in place. neither worked.

That brings up another box where you can name the new file.  There's a pulldown box just below the file name.  Select Wav 16 bit
Then OK.

It won't allow me to change that pull down box. it is set to 16 bit wav by defalt (i assume because that was the output i chose in the previous step)

Maybe you were missing the part where you 'render' or perhaps where the rendered file is set to 16 bit?

Nope. i did that too.

Problem Solved.

It WAS a renaming issue. After i selected the render button, I figured "create new file" was just as good as naming the new file. Wrong. You must select "Create Specific File" in the Rendering Preferences Box. Thanks for the help Rob and D. +t's

wavelab is just so ass-backwards sometimes

amen...CEP isnt so intuitive either

[dklein]

I don't know why but for my brain, CEP seems to have everything in the right place.  Then again, I can't figure out how to use a mac (but love the pc!)

same problem everyone else seems to have

Yeah, same here - CEP is a no-brainer for me.  I tried Samplitude once...ugh, never again.  One of these days I'll give Wavlab and Soundforge a try just for kicks.

see, i really like samplitude, but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to play a file

found out yesterday that CEP will NOT pull a signal from the Audiophile 2496 s/pdif.
it will only pull a signal from the monitor mixer/wav out, not the actual s/pdif.
prolly not a big deal overall but I found this rather weird

I used CEP for years... switched to wavelab over the summer and I still can't do shit. CEP was just very intuitive.

Unfortunately(?) WaveLab has the UV22 licensed from Apogee.  Probably one of the best dither/down algorythyms on a 'puter.  That's probably one of the ONLY things I use WaveLab for.  Wish they (Apogee) would just release it as a DirectX Plugin, so it could be used in ANY APP that supports DX Plugins...

I thought Waves dither was the best...
