I typically use Audio Export Mixdown in Cubase 4, to export my mixes in progress (recorded at 44.1k, 32 bit), to mp3 files (44.1k, 192 kbps), to compare with other mp3’s or email to friends.
I understand I should probably use dithering when mixing down to a 16 bit CD audio file, but I’m not clear if this applies to mp3 files.
Is there a need to apply dithering to the mp3 files (44.1k, 192 kbps), or is this a non-issue?
