Instruments • Re: Kilohearts Plug-ins (My Misunderstanding)

Uh-oh, another can of worms, dithering doubles when converting to floats. Is that even possible to dither floating point?

Yes its possible. Dither is basically just adding noise.
But its not necessary.

"Conversion between 32 bits and 64 bits floating-point, a regular scenario for audio clips being bussed by the DAW in and out of various, third-party plug-ins, is a completely transparent and lossless process that needs not be dithered in any case and produces no truncation distortion whatsoever, even when going “down” from 64 bits to 32 bits. The scaling nature of floating-point makes for a full-scale accuracy at all possible sample values."
