Going out to analog and back into digital should not be worth doing. I know of two possible problems: 1) Your software may be clipping some samples when you mix down. If you are working in a wider format (24 bits versus 16 for example) internally and when listening to tracks your software may clip on mixdown when it does not on track playback. I have had exactly this problem. 2) Are you applying dithering? Make sure you are in fact applying some. This adds a little noise that masks artifacts caused by going to only 16 bit audio. Should be an option at mix-down time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
