Reason to upgrade

[Tony Hardie-Bick]

from http://is.gd/dither [createdigitalmusic]

"Summing is a hot-button topic, for sure. On some level, there will be a
simple addition, just like there is an addition of voltages/current on
the summing bus of an analog console. But nobody would say that 2 analog
consoles sound the same. Similarly, there are design decisions to be
made on digital mixers. For example, our EQs are implemented in 64-bit,
and there is a dither stage in each channel. When multiple channels are
summed together, you can handle this dither in different ways. The
difference isn’t in the actual summing, but qualitative differences come
from these signals when they are summed."
