I used to work at 24bit/44.1k, but changed it up to 24bit/48k. So I did a bounce to disk and ended up with a 24bit/48k stereo WAV file. Of course, if I want to burn that to a CD, I'm going to need to convert it to 16bit/44.1k. I'm trying to remember the best way to do this.
I actually brought the file back into a DP project and then selected it in the Soundbites window and used the Convert option to make it into 16bit/44.1k but that's really not ideal it seems, because at the very least I didn't apply dither going from 24bits to 16bits. So help me out here... LOL
One thought was I could do the bounce applying 16-bit dither while bouncing to the 24-bit file, and then use the Soundbites Window to convert the file to 16-bit which I'm thinking might simply lop off the empty bits? Then do a sample rate conversion?
Ugh... I forgot. Also wondering if maybe I ought to get some sort of separate standalone app to handle the dither/conversion process? I've really forgotten a lot about this step. Jog my memory please!
