Hey Ed, can you explain why dither wouldn't be needed in this scenario? If the Lavry is capturing at 24bits & you're recording into wavelab at 16bit wouldn't that effectively be truncation?

I'm using the asio audio input or live input so I can use the master fader to control the recording level. This is also were the digital clipping happens.

Are you talking about the master fader in Wavelab? Again if you're raising the gain in Wavelab at 16bits, it would need re-dithering at this point (all internal DSP including a gain change would be calculated at 32bit float) unless I'm mistaken. It would make more sense to capture into Wavelab at 24bit 44.1kHz with your technique, so it could be dithered at the end. Also if you raise up the gain on the MF in Wavelab to digitally clip does that mean you're printing a file that peaks at 0.0dbfs? or are you lowering by 0.3 some place after the gain change?
