When going analog, I use a dither to reduce to 24-bit before going analog.
Whether I use analog gear or stay all digital, I render the fully processed version to 64-bit float (at the native/high sample rate) to lock in all the processing and a new montage is created. Then, it’s easy to render 24-bit/high sample rate WAVs, or 16-bit/44.1k WAV, DDP etc. by having a dither plug-in running live on that otherwise processed version. The dither should be last and after any sample rate conversions etc.
Thank you.
You solved my issue.
So after recording analog it comes back 24 bit Ill or use Rx to upsample it back to 64 bit ( before a new in the box session 2nd part ) or I’ll render it directly in wave lab. But I assume using RX after capturing the analog will be the fastest safest way.
There is no need to change it to 64-bit after capturing it. Any digital processing after the capture will result in 32 or 64-bit float audio.
Please cheek the bit-depth meter in WaveLab to see what I mean. It will help you.
Also, Goodhertz Good Dither has an internal bit-depth meter and an upcoming update will have a slight improvement in this area.
I See.
So after I capture all the tracks, which I used a Digital Eq before going analog ( Clip effect) I capture it in 24.
Now when I open a new album master 96k the files are 24 bit but as soon as I work on them its 32/64 float audio.
I don’t need to change.
Ok cool thank you
Btw
I follow the both amazing videos you did. on Analog and also on the Album mastering etc
I hope you’ll do one day another video showing the full process-the capturing analog and then the digital , just for the flow.
Cheers
