I've been using CEP for a long time. And I wonder if the dithering is messing
with the sound too much, clouding the stereo image a tad and just adding
a haze that is really not there.Dither does nothing to contribute to "clouding" a mix, in fact,
it helps with regard to the opposite of that. If you don't
dither down to 16 bits, what you're doing is adding a certain
amount of distortion via truncating, which (like adding an
exciter across the 2-buss) MIGHT make your mix sound more open
or have more definition, but all it's really doing is adding
distortion.
There are different types of dither, you know... i don't know
what type(s) CEP has, but maybe you'd like another type of
dither better than whatever they use. You can easily hear
the difference between a couple types,

and there's not so much
difference - that I can tell, anyway - between a couple others
so you might try to hear some different types of noise-shaping &
see if you like one better than the other, or one's more
appropriate for whatever style of music you're mixing right now.
Izoptoe's Ozone has four different types to choose from, and
the one that comes with Cubase (UV22-HR) is pretty clear and
neutral.

SX 4, as I said here earlier, is a pretty massive update over SX 3. The Media
bay is cool and would work for what you want. I'm also a long time SX user.
Any of these might also replace Reaper as your 'go to' tracker over time
as well. Or they might not. All pretty good stuff though.

submitted an auth request on the 30th jan and hoped that i might have a response
by now. had anyone recently had an authorisation? if so how long did it take?
many thanks
maxHey Chuck... that is strange. I just clicked on it and the page popped right
up. It was real important.. I was just kinda curious if anyone heard or
used it. Although I am still a Paris user... I am trying out new things
(within reason). I got the Cubase 4 (Studio) and imported some wav's to
play with.. I wanted to start learning before my firewire device gets here,
because I need to record in Cubase (or something). Anyway, is Cubase 4

>And we've been over this LaMont. Yes, marketers exaggerate. Not just in the
MI business but in any business. A smart consumer realizes this and has an
independent mind. And if you believed the hype about 64 bit integer processors
after I explained a dozen times whey it was fairly small news, well, you
can lead a horse to water but if you can get a bug do dance the achy breaky
heart then you're getting somewhere.
As far as tech problems, we've been over that as well. I don't understand
why musicians and audio engineers feel exempt from learning the technology
they choose. Photographers don't complain they have to learn about optics.
Architects realize that if they want to use AutoCAD instead of a protractor,
t-sqaure, balsa wood, and glue then they'll have to deal with some computer
issues. It always blows my mind that musicians and producers who can explain
the minutest issues involving amplifier tubes, microphone capsules, and preamp
transistors consider their computers to be such unimportant tools that they
are not willing to become as familiar with how they work just like they know
the rest of the gear in their studio.
