Nowadays, typical digital audio workstations employ floating-point internal precision. However, for distribution media like CD or streaming, we still need to convert our masters to 16 or 24 bit integer formats. These conversion easily introduces sound degradation caused by re-quantization errors. Dithering is a technique to suppress requantization errors on bit depth reduction by adding slickly crafted random signal.

Sakura Dither is a dithering plugin. It works on the final slot of mastering effect chain, converts input floating-point signal to output 8/16/24 bit integer signal. With well-tuned four types of dither characters, you can add a final touch to your masters.

A.O.M. has updated all their plugins to version 1.9.0 and released a new plug-in.

v1.12.0 Changelog

New Plug-in

- Tau Compressor Plus

Improvements

- [VST2, VST3, Audio Unit] Revise scaling method and add a workaround to some hosts' frame resize issue.

- [Cyclic Panner, Invisible Limiter, Invisible Limiter G2, Nu Compressor, tranQuilizr] Reduce UI loading time of the first instance in project.

Bugfixes

[Cyclic Panner, Invisible Limiter, Invisible Limiter G2, Sakura Dither, tranQuilizr] Some enumerate parameters were set to unexpected value when trying to reset them using reset button in menu bar – fixed. Affected parameters are these nine:

- Cyclic Panner / Speed

- Invisible Limiter / Shape, Overshoot

- Invisible Limiter G2 / Quality, Mode, Dither

- Sakura Dither / Depth

- tranQuilizr / Monitor, Channel

[tranQuilizr] Shelving band was displayed as peaking in graph area – fixed. This bug is about only curve display, thus it does not affect signal processing at all. This bug was introduced in version 1.11.5.
