WTF is Dither?

A practical exploration of dither, with no maths in sight.

How to use dither. How to check your dither is working correctly. Whats the difference between a native DAW dither and a posh dither like MegaBit+ from iZotope? Should you dither when rendering MP3 files?

Once you know this stuff you'll never have to worry about it again.

I used Reaper as usual (plus Sound Forge) but these principles apply whatever DAW you're using.

Intro / outro music is "Memories Evoked By A Smell" from my album "Impostor Syndrome", available in all the usual places. Bandcamp link:
