Bounce to disk
When I bounce to disk in PT 003 should I use 16 bit resolution or 24?
I mean when I bounce a track that I want to burn on a CD to listen to in a good home stereo system. The reason I ask is that there seem to be some burning software don't like the 24 bit and will only burn 16 so I'm wandering if there are CD players out there that won't play it either. Thanks |

Wait as long as possible before dithering down to 16 bits. The reason I ask is that there seem to be some burning software don't like the 24 bit and will only burn 16 so I'm wandering if there are CD players out there that won't play it either. All CD players are like that. CDs are 16-bit things. If it's not 16 bit two or four channel, it's not a red book CD and no CD player will ever play it. But that doesn't have anything to do with Pro Tools. Wait as long as possible before converting to 16 bits and avoid doing any processing in the 16 bit world. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

To simplify things for your own listening at home, use 16-bit. If you're going to send your project off for mastering or pressing, then use 24-bit and let the conversion to 16-bit after the next people in line work their magic. |

No, just 2 channels, 44 KHz sampling, 16 bits. Are there any 4 channel players? Please see DVD-V and DVD-A standards for multichannel (2 channels) players (or better yet, recorders) out there? Since you can record DVD-As on a standard PC DVD burner... |

Bounce at 24.... pick up a copy of Toast Titanium, drag and drop to burn. Toast will downsample and dither for making test CDs.

No, there never were. --scott What would have been REALLY a good idea was a mono CD, with twice the running time and differetn interleeave. But when the CD came out, I don't think anybody had any idea how big a business reissuing older recordings was going to turn out to be. 20/20 hindsight, of course. -- "C'est un Nagra.

As far as I know, nobody ever implemented it, but it's in the standard. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

And the name of a commercially made and sold player for that standard is???? ;-) |

The format is capable of discrete 4 channel quadrophony. Are there any 4 channel players (or better yet, recorders) out there? I doubt that a quadrophonic cd-player was ever actually built.
