I guess, it is not that easy to make a “good” dithering option, on the otherside, even FL Studio has it as well as Reason/Record and nearly every other DAW/ Sequencer out there, so perhaps Fritz can tell us more on this subject. not only offering normalization but dithering as well, I don´t know how hard it is to programm such a feature. Geist Lite is the feature-limited edition of the now discontinued Geist plugin (replaced by the more recent Geist2 software). If your post is about, if it makes sense to offer dithering options in Podium, i.e. FXpansion is offering the Geist Lite drum sampling, slicing, and sequencing workstation as a free download for everyone who signs up on the company’s website. In theory it´s there, but you cannot here it. In a modern dance track, hiphop or rock it doesn´t make any difference, it is simple not noticeable. classic, where the quantization errors are really noticeable in the very quiet section. ![]() Our products include Cypher2, Strobe2 & Geist2. It is more related to music with a very high dynamic, i.e. FXpansion is a music software developer, based in London, UK. In fact there are many smaller features I simply haven’t had space to go into. Even Normalization applied afterwards will not change the dither result in a noticeable way, expect if it has to raise the final audio by 10db.īut…it is overrated by using it in modern music style with a very low dynamic. Geist2 is a remarkably powerful music production tool. A little bit confusing at first especially with the FX and what layer of your sound you are working on but give it a few minutes and you will have the aha moment soon enough. Just add the plugin as the last instance in the master, export to soundfile as i.e. ![]() So dithering in Podium should be always applied, if you use “Export to soundfile” with a lower resolution than 32bit floating point.Īnd if it is the last plugin in the master chain, Podium will not change the audio afterwards, so there is no need for a special or additional communication between the dither plugin and the host. The dither option in such plugins doesn´t do anything but adding a noise to the audiosignal to mask quantization errors, which arise out of the conversion from higher resolutions to lower. Again, afaik, any plugin offering dithering options doesn´t do (and I think cannot do) any bit conversion on it´s own.
