You will always get a better product if you start with 24-bit and then dither down in the mastering stage - then starting with 16-bit.




This has been my experience also. A good dithering algo is also very nice. But I don't even want to get into that discussion here. Suffice it to say 24 bit is worth the effort. Changing from 16 to 24 bit makes much more difference than any bitrate change ...


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
