The meaning of "Brown henke (dither) ?

Post by pencilrocket » Thu Aug 18, 2011 3:47 pm

Could someone tell me the defenition of the "Brown henke (dither)"?
It seems that this words are not common words and I can't find the answer from the google.

Is this a secret language? Not knowing this words I think I can't fully understand what forum members are talking about in some topics.

Thanks.

It was discovered by Robert Henke of Ableton and Ernst Brown of IRCAM and describes a subtle enharmonic distortion in the summing bus resulting from cross modulation products in the complex convolution algorithm employed by many plugin effects.

But it is completely inaudible to all but a few, with extremely sensitive hearing - the sort of people that can hear differences between different summing bus designs that normal people can't detect.

from wikipedia:

'brown henke dither' is a special type of spectral distributed n-tuple noise used mainly in digital audio workstations for dithering purposes. It adds a +47.3db noise signal to a soundfile, which as a result reduces the information and therefor any potential error in the composition to zero. brown henke dither can be obtained by various means. common methods use the square of the sum of all tarnce tracks ever made, or the mean of seven randomly chosen forum posts.'

I thought Brown Henke Dither was related to the area of the brain known as "Shatner's Bassoon"

I must be thinking of something else.

It cleared some aspect but also confused other things.
Who is Ernst Brown of IRCAM? No resuft from google at all.

I understood that the person named Robert Henke is mentioned here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolake
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henke
And he is joined this forum and have a conversation with ppl friendly as the nickname "henke" without Mod or official staff tag even though he is co-developer of Live software.

Then what does the dither related with him? Did he code the Live's sound process things?
