Bounce To Disk

Hi ,

I have recording my music at 48KHz & 24 Bit in DP 4.52. Then I bounced all the tracks to Disk prepare for CD burning. I exported the tracks to AIFF , then a CORE AUDIO EXPORT OPTIONS appeared, that let me choose bit dept to 16 bit, sample rate to 44100, but there I don't know what's the difference of the SR Convert Quality at Maximum, High, Medium, Low or Minimum. I checked the big manual but couldn't find explanation about it. Please explain.

What the music I do is very unconventional, which is having extreme bass and high frequency ( up to over 15 KHz) sound & spikes. I found that after I burned it to an audio CD, the sound changed a lot. Especially when I play it by my cheap 1 bit ADC Discman, the high frequency spike sound weird. Is this something about my Discman player, or I shouldn't record the music tracks at 24 bit & 48KHz at the beginning? Will I re-record everything in 16 Bit 44.1 KHz better?

Your earliest reply is highly appreciated.

Thank you

You should choose maximum. The difference in sound you are hearing is most likely the 24 to 16 conversion. Make sure you use dither. Try converting in Peak or a pogram that uses the PowR dither. Without dither you are chopping off 8bits of audio information.
