Yes - it’s The Dither Episode ! But hang in there, it’s not as bad as you might think. My guest host this week is Jon Tidey from reaperblog.net, who hates talking about dither, so I had to work hard to keep it interesting. And I think I succeeded, mostly! We cover loads of topics, like why the analogy of hi-res digital audio with digital photos is wrong (or at least deeply misleading) and why dither means digital ‘resolution’ is NOT a real thing. Plus:

• Why dither helps prevent your audio from 'sounding digital’
• How the right kind of dither can make even 8-bit audio sound OK
• Why it works - and what that has to do with my lava lamp
• Whether we can really hear the difference
• How to test yourself using “Gangnam Style"
• Why you should stop worrying and just dither !
