Master Section
The Master Section is the final block in the signal path before the audio is sent to the audio hardware, to an audio file, or to the audio meters. This is where you adjust the master levels, add effects, resample, and apply dithering.
Master Section Window
In this window, you can apply effect plug-ins, adjust the master level, apply dithering, and render the audio file or audio montage.
Final Effects/Dithering Pane
This pane in the Master Section allows you to add final effects and dithering to the signal before it is sent to the audio hardware or saved as a file on disk.
Testing the Quality of the Dithering Plug-ins
In the Master Section, you can compare the quality of different dithering plug-ins, by making the quantization noise and the dithering signal more audible.

Testing the Quality of the Dithering Plug-ins

In the Master Section, you can compare the quality of different dithering plug-ins, by making the quantization noise and the dithering signal more audible.

To activate this option, click Settings at the top of the Master Section, and activate Monitor 16 Bit Dithering.

Now, when you activate a dither plug-in and play back an audio section, you can hear what the effect of the dither plug-in sounds like. You can try out different dithering plug-ins, to find out which one has the best effect on the audio.

Important

Make sure to deactivate Monitor 16 Bit Dithering when you are done testing the dithering quality.

Note

Only dither to 16 bit, otherwise the result does not have any meaning.
