Title: Convert 24/192 file to 16/44 file?
Post by: Bernt on September 18, 2013, 10:23:53 am

I have a friend who needs to convert 24/192 file to 16/44 file (don´t know why).
Is this possible to do and if so, how?

The converter (Library Tools > Convert Format) supports sample rate switching (and even convolution!).

However, there's not currently a way to specify the output bitdepth in the UI.  Since the framework supports outputting at any bitdepth, we'll change this next build (available later this week):

NEW: Convert Format allows optionally specifying an audio output bitdepth.

This will be a handy feature.   ;D

Will dither be applied when the conversion changes the bitdepth?

Dither is applied to all integer bitdepth down conversions, just like for playback.  A little more here:
