text: All that matters is that dither is used when lowering the bit depth and that this is an algorithmic process, ie using a predetermined set of mathematical formulas.
text: Dither is a very low-level noise that's added when reducing bit depth, and by definition it's about 90 dB below the music when reducing to 16 bits.
text: Dither is low-level noise added to digital audio when reducing the bit-depth to prevent quantisation distortion.
