Bob,

The audio files that are provided with BIAB are 16/44.1. This means that if you use applications that convert them to higher or lower bit rates and frequencies, you run the risk of introducing audio artifacts. The more conversions to and fro, the greater the likelihood of sound degradation. A good dithering process can help reduce this.

My plan of attack with my songs is to keep all my BIAB tracks native at 16 bit and 44.1 kHz until I create my final product. This means that if there is a change in quality due to compressing or stretching, the existing BIAB tracks only ever undergo a single conversion.

Regards,
Noel
