Some people hate it, other love it, most dont care. The internal and soundcards samplerate are always the same, so there happens no interpolation.ītw, you can en/disable dithering in Renoise. Mixing is usually done in 32bit floats, by smply adding the samples (there is no magic). Of course i could download & read the whole vst sdk from steinberg, but… too lazy.ĭithering happens only once at the end, when converting the internal data stream into the soundcards stream. if it’s only in the END of all processing chain (to make 32bit float fit into 24bit/16bit output of the soundcard), or if this dithering is occured after each part of the chain,… ? man, i just hooked my old amiga to my mixer a few days back again, and i LOVE the sound that comes out of it.Īs for when exactly dithering is occured. and to be honest, I don’t really care if my sound is 100 percent super clear & sounds “pro”. Just mix better and write some decent original tunes… Anyway, most punters won’t pick the difference… Don’t worry about it. I think the way digital sampling is done needs to be totally reconcieved. No matter what the bit depth or sample rate digital is a pale comparison to the real instrument giving the real sound listen to by your real ears. Besides, it’s a unique ‘renoise’ sound, which is just toasty in my book. And if you haven’t got those skills you’re not hearing it anyway. It’s not as bad as to be a problem, because if you’ve got the skills to mix around it you’ve got no issue. To develop those mixing skills takes years, and if you were dead serious about commercially releasing stuff then you’d send it to a mastering lab anyway.įor my money Renoise has a soft dip from about 10k up (see the old threads by Internal Engine to read about this). Even if you are working with lower bit rates/strange interpolation/poor sampling you’ve still got everything you need to make everything sound amazingly perfect: EQ, Compression, Pan and Volume. Moral of the story? Take your time with you mix. But I can give the following advice:Ī higher definition render/mix will make poor engineering sound better.Ī higher definition render/mix will make good engineering seem about the same. if one sample falls one step above or under the “linear” calculating method. everything dithering does is calculating minimal differences. cubase really so superior above renoise concerning mixing algorithms? although mixing is nothing less than just adding samplevalues together? so almost every software has somehow to dither their internal mixing to the bitdepth that your soundcard accepts. Of course soundcards cannot output 32 bit floating point values. My original point was: how much does interpolation methods really affect the output sound comming from the program? Of course we can set a buffer for all this calculation have time to process (latency) In the END of the whole process, ALL tracks just get added together (simple addition of each sample (in this case 48000 times in a second), and outputted to the soundcard. Inside each effect plugin or the vsti itself, the signal can be calculated with any bitrate/depth the plugin is programmed to, but the data calculated is send to next part of the chain in the format 48 kHz/32bitfloat (in this case). They read the data (48kHz/32bitfloat) data gets processed, effect sends data for further processing to next plugin (still 48kHz…) Now this signal goes for further processing to the effect plugins. with the samplerate still being 48kHz & 32bitfloat. Once everything is calculated, the vsti sends this output for further processing. This vsti gets midi data, and calculates the output for this single instrument. so that’s the bitdepth everything gets mixed.Įvery single trackoutput begins with the vsti or the sample (<-the sample would be in renoises case kind of an internal vsti) whatever. I don’t know exactly, but i think that most common (when not all) software handles audio streams internally with 32 bit floating point values. So: in one second the audio data gets processed 48000 times in a second. If you set your output (in one apllication) to 48 khz, everything in this app, channelwise, is processed at this samplerate. i have a discussion on another board on how channels get mixed together in an audio application. i don’t really know anything about audio programming.
