Hi, I was wondering if there is a Super Bit Mapping ditering plug-in
available from anywhere? Preferably in RTAS format, but VST or DirectX would
also be good.

Thanks.
Pete.

Using SBM is an algorithm that places the dithering noise above 22.5 kHz, so
if you choose a dithering algorithm that places the noise about the audible
threshold, then you are essentially doing the same thing. Most dithering
has several options, one being placing the resultant noise above the audible
area, a second being linearly spread throughout the spectrum, and then
there's noise shaping, which gives you a little more in options on "where"
you want to put the noise. SBM isn't all that much, but it gave Sony a way
to use better converters for better headroom and still have it translate
well to 16 bit. So noise up high, noise throughout or noise within a
specific range. You pick. I don't know of any decent audio applications
that don't give you at least a couple of selections. Try whatever's
available and see what you like best.

You can find a ton of free VST plugins.
