7.3.5 Dither
When
ClipSafe or ClipSafe+Normalise are used, the Manager may need to dither after
applying the required gain trim.
When
encoding, dither is only applied if an HD-AAC encode produces overs and requires
some gain trim before the re-encode process. When
decoding, dither is applied when
any encoded file (HD-AAC or otherwise) requires gain trim before being written to 16 or 24
bit WAV/AIFF.

It is possible to listen to any supported audio file using the Pro-Codec Manager. Click in
the audition column to the left of the file name to load a file into the internal playback
section. The file will begin to play immediately. Press the spacebar to pause or resume
playback. Use the
SETTINGS tab to select your audio output device.
This section provides familiar controls – play/pause, volume and play position seeking.
Clicking the speaker icon toggles playback mute. The loop button has three modes:
• No looping
• Loop the currently selected file
• Loop all files in the list in sequence. At the end of playback, the next file in the list is
selected, and playback begins. Playback will stop at the end of the last file in the list.
The audio output device used by the Manager can be selected from the
SETTINGS tab. If
a device is connected to the system while the Manager is open, press the rescan button,
and the device will become available via the drop-down list.
Note:
It is recommended to configure the plug-in’s host DAW to release the audio driver in
the background. This will prevent the device driver from attempting to change your
session/project sample rate, which can cause problems with some host DAWs.
