I am using the Limiting or Amplify process to change the audio level (Limit is the level is too low, and Amplify (-dB) if the level is too high). What I am trying to do is preserve the quality of the wav file with the level adjustment so that I can use it in a DJ type mix or export it to mp3 for the phone. All I am doing in Audacity is changing the audio level of the music so that all songs are more or less the same volume level when I listen to them on my phone (mp3), where of course 32 float is gross overkill. I know what the term “dithering” means, but I do not understand how it applies to conversion to 32 float files. I’m not sure I understand what you are saying here. It’s true if you never leave 32-float, you don’t need dithering.
For example, Audacity will try to add a very low level dithering sound to prevent 32-float conversion from creating audible damage. If you change the music in any way, then you get into the additional steps needed to prevent unintentional damage and undesirable audio changes. If all you’re doing is “converting” from hardware to files, a simple ripper to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo will give a perfect copy. The file structure is a little wacky to get as much music on the disk as possible, but the music itself is of that quality.
Audio CDs are produced in 44100, 16-bit, Stereo.
