The other method, more robust, is to use the Apogee dithering built-in to Cubase VST32 to dither the 24 bit signal down to 16 bits and then record them on the Adats. This is a better method because the signal will not be truncated, and the Apogee dithering is supposed to dither down to 16 bits while retaining almost the dynamic range of a 20 bit signal, so the audio quality lost will be unnoticable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34601,34915,34937,34891,34938],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33755],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How should I dither Cubase VST32 from 24 bits to 20 bits for my Adats? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/dither-cubase-vst32-24-bits-20-bits-for-adats\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How should I dither Cubase VST32 from 24 bits to 20 bits for my Adats? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are two ways to dither VST32 from 24 bits to 20 bits.
