something that i found

so i was exporting my beat from reason,

then i heard it on my PDA

when i realized.... it sounded like doo doo

..the quality sounded strangely shitty(even after clicking the high quality interpolation and high quality sample loading... and choosing the right quality when exporting)


so i go on the net, search.. and i read something about a lot of people complaining on reason having low quality when it exports, but having high quality when it's rewired to another program

its kinda weird, cause when ive rewired my past work with pro tools....

they beats sound nice...


but some other people say the quality is "amazing" when exporting, and some say that you need to dither using a different program

what is your guy's opinion?

is reason's quality(when exporting) good enough?

This should be done when you're going to different bit depths. For example, 24 bits to 16 or 20 to 16. If you're not lowering anything there is no reason to apply dither. If you're going from 24 bit in reason, and plan to import it in another program where the session is 24 bit, there is not need to dither.

The LAST step you want to make is dither.

lets say i want my track as a wav file, 16 bit



they say, that you should export the track...as 24 bit(from reason),

then import(the sound file) to a different program,

and dither from there(to 16 bit)

...because reason has bad quality at exporting



so the whole thing is about reason sounding good when you play it, but when you export your song... it sounds bad

You're going from 24 bit to 16 bit so you should dither. Reason probably has a poor dither algo, so go ahead and export as a 24 bit file, import it to another app, and bounce it down to a 16 bit file with dither applied.
