Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: Sample Rates / Sample Sizes

Steve, I misspoke really. I guess I should have just said Linux/Alsa/Jack dithering solutions. It's sort of immaterial to me whether dither is done within LADSPA as an output plugin in Ardour or done somewhere else like Jamin where maybe it's totally built in. My comment was intended to acknowledge my lack of specific technical knowledge in the environment that most people on this list work in. Clearly the idea that there is a float t int conversaion taking place is I guess pretty obvious when you talk about dithering, even to me, but LADSPA internals are certainly not my forte! ;-) Thanks for the clarifications though. It does raise an interesting difference between something like Ardour, I guess, and Pro Tools where I can insert a dithering plugin pretty much anyplace in the signal chain if I choose to. Maybe the RTAS standard makes some decision to go to int based on where the output is going? I don't know.
