These buttons allow you to select the intended bit resolution for the final audio. As when using the internal dithering, it is important to set this to the correct resolution. Applies a normal dither gain. Applies a lower level of dither noise. If this option is activated, the dither noise is gated during silent passages. This kicks off a pretty big Airwindows project: porting all of my dither and noise shaping algorithms to VST for free. Technically, I have a for-pay plugin that contains them, and ought to wait for that funding goal: however, Ditherbox has always contained stuff that’s in other free plugins and serves as a convenience thing, so I can reserve. 3.) Apply dithering. 4.) Export as 16-bit/44.1KHz test signal (of course with the VST host dithering off, if using plug-in solution.) 5.) Examine the results. This uses Adobe Audition Spectral View and Audio Statistics tools. Original Audio and Commercial Dithering Performance. Free VST Plugins are one of the most exciting things about mixing. In the past it was impossible to imagine that so many quality tools could be available at no cost. Today there are more great free plugins than ever before, but the freeware scene is always changing. If it's mp3 or youtube, no need of dither, it would be destroyed by loss conversion anyway. Mp3 adds different noise of it's own. If your project is 32bit float and converting to 24 bit wav, no need of dither, but if it's 32 bit int to 24 bit then need (DAWs should even grey out ditherng in export settings if your project is 32 bit float, but you might still add it from ozone without knowing).

Good Dither is a very good dither that’s very easy to work with. Set it on “Optimal,” and it will optimize the dither and noise shaping for any combination of bit depth and sample rate.

• Smooth, perceptually optimized noise shaping
• Designed for all sample rates
• Auto blanking when input is silent
• Simple controls

Getting to know Good Dither

When should I use dither?

Every time you reduce the audio bit depth you should dither to prevent distortion and quantization error. 24 bit → 16 bit, 32 bit → 24 bit — any time you reduce the word length.

My DAW / audio app already has a built-in dither — why do I need this?

Good Dither’s noise shaping increases resolution while staying smooth & natural-sounding and avoiding extreme high-frequency peaks. Download box notes for mac.

Break that graph down for me a little.

Dither adds noise to audio signals in order to prevent distortion that otherwise would occur. The noise shaping of the dither affects the frequency spectrum of that noise. Generally, the goal of a noise shaping algorithm is to move noise energy away from areas that the human ear is very sensitive to and to push it to places that we’re not as sensitive (very high or very low frequencies). The tradeoff is that aggressive noise shaping adds higher peaks in the dither signal, so the best dithers strike a good balance between noise reduction and avoiding excessive peaks.

The following chart shows the perceived noise reduction² (more reduction = better) and the highest peaks relative to flat dither (lower = better).

If this dither is so good, why isn’t it more expensive?

1. We feel that you shouldn’t need to spend hundreds on a utility tool essential for anyone who works with digital audio.
2. We want to reward Goodhertz customers with inexpensive utility plugins. Good Dither is the first plugin in our “Good” series, and we’ll be adding lots more in the future.

Is this the same Goodhertz Dither that Audiofile features in Triumph?

Correct! This dither algorithm was originally developed for use in Audiofile’s Triumph app, so the differences between the Goodhertz Dither in Triumph 2.5+ and Good Dither are minimal.

1. Drastic noise shaping can cause additional distortion, create MP3 encoding issues, or even become audible or damage tweeters in certain situations. ↩

2. The perceived noise reduction was obtained at threshold levels using multiple trained subjects listening in headphone (Sennheiser HD 600 and HD 280) and loudspeaker (ATC SCM50ASL and K&H O300) environments. ↩
