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 !
