+ rdfs:comment """When a waveform is rounded to the nearest 16 (or whatever)-bit value this causes distortion. Dither allows you to exchange this rough sounding signal-dependant distortion for a smooth background hiss.
+
+Some sort of dither should always be used when reducing the word length of digital audio, such as from 24-bit to 16-bit. In many cases the background noise in a recording will act as dither, but dither will still be required on fades and on very clean recordings such as purely synthetic sources.
+
+Noise shaping makes the background hiss of dither sound quieter, but adds more high-frequency noise than 'ordinary' dither. This high frequency noise can be a problem if a recording is later processed in any way (including gain changes) especially if noise shaping is applied a second time.
+
+If you are producing an absolutely final master at 16 bits or less, use noise shaped dither. In all other situations use a non-noise-shaped dither such as high-pass-triangular. When mastering for MP3 or other compressed formats be aware that noise shaping may take some of the encoder's 'attention' away from the real signal at high frequencies.
+
+No gain changes should be applied after this plug-in. Make sure any master output fader is set to 0.0 dB in the host application.
+
+Very technical note This plug-in follows Steinberg's convention that a signal level of 1.0 corresponds to a 16-bit output of 32768. If your host application does not allow this exact gain setting the effectiveness of dither may be reduced (check for harmonic distortion of a 1 kHz sine wave using a spectrum analyser).""" ;
