MAAT LINone Essential Dithering Plug-In

MAAT 033B2 Overview

Redither like the pros without breaking the bank with LINone from MAAT, a plug-in that offers essential redithering tools for modern postproduction work. Ideal for restoring proper dither on mono or stereo tracks, LINone uses 1st order noise shaping to eliminate distortion and deliver 16- or 24-bit audio with details intact.

Triangular and auto-blanking redithering techniques are available, with auto-blanking helping to prevent background contamination of the redithering process. Sampling rates of 44.1 to 384 kHz are supported for a professional, high-fidelity workflow. LINone is available in AAX native, AU, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats and supports macOS and Windows computers.

Why Redither?

Dither is an interesting and fundamental aspect of digital audio. In the digital audio world, dither is noise added to reduce distortion. According to information theory, you should add a pinch of noise to your digital audio every time you change it.

Because a digitizer can only choose one discreet sample value during each sample time period, not half of one and half of another, adding a touch of noise helps to nudge the system to land on the statistically right choice. Injecting a hint of noise linearizes a digital conversion, reducing distortion.

Your Low-Cost Entry into a More Linear World

LINone provides basic high-precision dithering at a price anyone can afford. Plus, LINone's dither is more accurate and better sounding than the dither built into several popular DAWs. Compare LINone's exacting action with your DAWs built-in dither and see for yourself.

For Modern Postproduction Workflows

Whether you're delivering a 16-bit Red Book dupe master, a 24-bit high-resolution 88.2 kHz file to today's higher fidelity streaming services, or multichannel 48 kHz stems for video and motion picture work, LINone will take you there with the best sounding tracks obtainable.
