IDR360 Bit Re-Quantizer

24-bit audio doesn't always end up as 24-bits. CDs use 16-bits, or material might be archived at a lower bit depth to accommodate a particular medium (like 20-bit digital audio tape), or to save space with non-critical media. However, reducing bit depth inherently leads to reduced quality.

To retain sound quality, IDR360° Bit Requantizer uses Waves' Increased Digital Resolution (IDR) process for minimal loss of audio information when re-quantizing from higher to lower bit depths.

Features:

• Re-Quantize to 24, 22, 20, 18, or 16-bit depths.
• Separate components for 5.0 and 5.1 surround.
• Also works with stereo buses as well as multichannel buses.
• Can re-quantize 32- and 64-bit floating point audio.
• Turn dithering/noise shaping on or off.
• Choose Moderate, Normal, or Ultra noise shaping.
