I know the difference between dithering and truncation. RBrain pro is exactly what I need to dither to 16/44.1. GS likes to be really technical sometimes... I just do what I do, no need to explain myself all the time, it's really a waste of my time for the most part, since language/skill barrier doesn't allow me to explain properly anyway. I just know it sounds good when I use Rbrain pro, the rest is unimportant.

I like to keep my life simple. I master the track. Do I need to make the file for Cd? Then Rbrain pro will do the rest. No headaches, no explaining. A/B, yes it sounds fairly close to the original, good enough for me and for the artist. Done.

Actually, to make everyone's lives easier. Here's a website that explains it better than I ever would: Truncation vs. Dither?

Enjoy!
