Dither Effects(Cubase Elements only)

Dither effects allow you to control the noise that is produced by quantization errors that can

occur when you mix down to a lower resolution.

Dithering adds a special kind of noise at an extremely low level to minimize the effect of

quantization errors. This is hardly noticeable and much preferred to the distortion that otherwise

occurs.

NOTE

As Cubase internally uses 32-bit float resolution, all integer resolutions are lower. However, the

negative effects are most noticeable when mixing down to 16-bit format or lower.
