Sample Rate
Set the sample rate for the file. CD audio uses 44100 kHz.
Bit Depth
Set the bit depth for the file. CD audio uses 16 bit. If you don’t have
Dithering turned on, this is a good time to turn it on.
Dithering
Whenever an audio signal is converted from a higher-bit resolution to a
lower resolution, it is necessary to apply dither to avoid introducing
undesirable quantization noise or harmonic distortion into the signal. You
can select from four available dithering types.
