Can anyone tell me how to buy dsp quattro and is it available online or in a music store? Thanks Bennie Sims

Hi

Its available online at: http://www.i3net.it/Products/dspQuattro ... anguage=EN

You can also download a trial version which has the save routines disabled.

I use it all the time for mastering purposes mainly.

It's very worth the money. A good tool to get your mixes well burnt on CD. Works easy on albums where each song comes from a different file, as well as live-records, where I normally have a couple of songs in one file and add the markers in DSP Quattro.

The program needed a while to get fully used to, but the fact that I can't remember a crash and there is hardly any alternative in this price range makes it a great recommendation.

BTW, Stuart... did you end up using it or are you still making up your mind? What did you think of the demo?

Marcel (not at all wanting to promote it for a reason, just a user)

Thanks for the help I did purchase Quattro and did one short master and it sounds fabulous. I already highly recommend this software! Sincerely, Bennie Sims

I've been using it since version 1.x, and it's a complete bargain.

Moreover, the author is very friendly and he offers excellent technical support. He corrected a problem within 24 hours after being notified, making available an interim version.

I use it for the final mastering and creating the CD.

I am waiting back from DSP-Quattro regarding a sample I sent them for dithering.

What do you gusy make of the dithering algorithm used as compared with the likes of POW-r?

I haven't done any A/B tests, but the gaussian filter seems to be unpopular vs. PowR. Why ? I dunno.

I prefer dithering in DSP Quattro to other programs. On a recent scoring project I dithered a mix using POW-r, and then later made some minor changes and sent the new mix through the DSP Quattro dithering. I felt it sounded better, and the director made an unsolicited remark to that effect as well.

Hi there

I take it that you don't mean that you took the originally dithered track and dithered it again through DSP?

Right, I made some minor changes in the mix in DP at the original bit and sample rate, then dithered it from that in DSP Quattro instead of Peak 4.

Hey Albert, good to see you here.

So what kinda of minor changes did you make to the mix? Wouldn't that make more of aural difference than the dithering?
In either case, good to hear the outcome was good.
