Dithering & noise shaping - When/where/how?

<< < (3/3)

Then you're the reason i wrote "most people" instead of "everyone" in my first post in this thread  ;D

Davide-NYC:
I like the 2nd segment best. I dislike a 'moving' (sound dependant) hiss and the 'character' of the static hiss is more 'pleasant' in the 2nd segment.

Of course it all sounds horible and is just set up this way to illustrate the different effects. Thus I think that at a much lower lever the type of hiss heard in the 2nd segment would be the most 'pleasant' none-disturbing.

If the noise moves with the source it is as if it's part os the music, which it is not. Having grown up on cassettes, my brain can 'ignore' the hiss and just focus on the sound source. But if it moves around it become part of the sound source (in my mind) and thus more distracting and annoying.

My $0.28.

well done Preglow, dither is a nice added feature to improve playback.
I also do prefer the dither+noise shaping sequence
Sure that for most discs with an effective dynamic of only few dB's, lot of people won't really benefit of this feature.
But for those listening to their own recordings, or classical recordings or some high quality jazz/rock tracks, it's great !
