aif v SDII file variance into the competition? If I am burning my own Redbook master, do I need to go SDII. Next, I think I can make an SD II file, 16 bit with no dithering, for comparison. There, I plan only to add a tad of verb just before dithering to 16 bit. So, I can see how this could be a better recording of Ivory to export to Waveburner. The only FX are already set on the Ivory 2 interface. So, I don't know how elegant this method is, but it seems to have rendered what I was after. With all other faders (master, stereo output, the Ivory channel and an aux 1 channel all set to zero, I had to go -5.8 on the new, recording audio track to keep the same level I had. I did get an recording of the Ivory 2 on a new track as you suggested.I set Bus 1 on the Ivory channel at zero and routed that to a new audio track (stereo). This is a solo piano piece FWIW, just one stereo track. So, that would be my process or suggestion of a series of steps. in fact, I use RME products because of the loopback function, and the fact that I can digitally do this, but really anyone with a digital I/O can do the same with a bit of thought as to how to achieve this step. I think the straight bounce function in Logic is terrible. In my experience the actual recording of the audio out of Logic and recording it into new tracks makes the most significant difference. And if one wants to be sure of the results, doing it like this seems to be the only way to verify things. I have used dither and simple truncation on a number of different projects over the years, and in my experience it really depends on the project regarding how dither (or the "sound" of dither) effects it. Open a new Logic session, and drop your 2 new files into it, making 2 tracks.Now just do an a/b comparison to hear which is a better representation of what you want. You should now have 2 files, one dithered, the other not. Now do the exact same thing, but this time add dither to your master. this file will be a 16 bit SD 2 file if waveburner still works the way it used too. Now try this: first, add your master to Waveburner, and don't dither, and prep a disc image. Now you have a better master than you had before. Logic's bounce process can loose a huge amount of detail and stereo information from a delicate part. Maybe I should bounce in place? Do you? Am I, er, on the right track? Just a nod or something, eh fellers.Maybe this is partly an Ivory 2 question, maybe Waveburner.a lot happens when one hits that "bounce" button.įirst, I would suggest you try this: send your Ivory output to your audio outputs 3/4 from your Traveller interface, and then record them back into new tracks. Okay, so that's what I'm going to do then, re-record everything. bounce 24 bit no dithering) after doing everything I want to do with the whole album in Waveburner, burn my CD with it set to dither going down to 16 bit. Then, (I have to re-record the whole album i.e. I mean, the fact that it's now 64 bit and I'm using Logic 64 bit refers to data, not audio, yah? Or no? Yep, pretty sure that 24 bit AUDIO (aiff.) is what I want to export to Waveburner for mastering. So, okay, I get it now if that is what is happening with Ivory 2. Okay, so I should have checked the 24 bit box, no dithering to make the Ivory tracks retain the best sound, without truncation or dithering at that point. I noticed my tracks sounded a tiny bit bad, which they were actually 8 bits bad, because Logic send a file with rounding errors on to Waveburner because I accidentally had it set to 16 bit no dithering. So, to recap: I played a tune, bounced, imported to Waveburner 1.6x then went to 16 bit 44 whatever for a CD. Okay, yeah, I'm just trying to figure this out, bit by bit, as it were. Okay, so if I just bounce, with default settings, I suppose that Ivory is converted to 24 bit aiff and then on to 16 bit without dithering. Okay, so I'm using 64 bit Logic to record Ivory II Italian Grand as a midi track.
