ableton differ on export

Post by converted » Sat Nov 14, 2015 1:39 pm

Hi regarding differ on exporting from ableton. its by default set as on in triangular mode.

My question is considering in working in 24 bit in ableton with my Focusrite pro 24 card and also
exporting at 24 bit with nothng on the master channel ......is it required to have differ switched on?
or is there any advantage in having it on?

dithering is something you do when downsampling (aka when rendering a master), otherwise don't bother.

to get the terminology straight, dithering is something that you do when reducing bit depth, to combat quantization noise.

downsampling, which is reducing the sampling rate, requires filtering to reduce aliasing artefacts.
