By default, Triangular is selected, which is the safest mode to use if there is any possibility of doing additional processing on your file. Dithering adds a small amount of noise to rendered audio, but minimizes artifacts when reducing the bit depth. 'If you are rendering at a bit depth lower than 32-bit, choose one of the dither modes. However you can pick several dithering options when going down to 16/24 bits.Дithering modesВ on Ableton (Ableton Manual) Picture below: When exporting as 32bit in Ableton Live, the dithering option is actually greyed out - because its not necessary, as mentioned above. So its possible and recommended to apply dithering only when you have to deliver your audio as 16-bit values or lower. For example, using 32-bit floating point, you can rest assured that your dynamic range is so wide, that the least-significant bit of your audio is practically so quiet, its not perceptible anymore (unless your hearing is at atomic level).ДAWs like Ableton Live 9 and digital audio signal processors usually work at this resolution. It will create harmonic distortion to replace truncating or rounding to fit samples into the reduced bit size (also called reduced 'word size') to spread out the error over time, creating broadband noise.Дither is not necessary when using resolutions that are high enough. Therefore, when you reduce a 16 bit file to 8 bits, youвЂ™ll need dithering. YouвЂ™ll only need dithering when reducing the number of bits used to represent a signal. The added noise has the effect of spreading the many short-term errors across the audio spectrum as broadband noise.вЂњ ( ('96) - what is dither?) When using Dithering So, in our DAW for example, 'dithering is done by adding noise of a level less than the least-significant bit before rounding to 16 bits. 16 bits) to represent our sample points as accurate as possible (in the analogue world, there are infinite or continuous sample points available, whereas they are finite (discrete) in the digital world). The distortion is first caused by using a fixed number of bits (e.g. Noise is being added on purpose to trade a little bit of low-level hiss for a great deal of distortion. Dithering or to dither means adding noise to the audio signal.
