Where to get itAvailable from Goodhertzgoodhertz.com

Good Dither is a mastering-grade dithering plugin that applies low-level noise to suppress quantization distortion when reducing bit depth (e.g., 24-bit to 16-bit). It features world-class dithering with simple, direct controls and a built-in bit scope meter to visualize bit utilization, making it easy to determine when dithering is needed and verify its application.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Bit Depth selection (8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32 Bit, Pass Thru)
02Dither Amount control (None, Low, Optimal, High)
03Noise Shaping modes (Optimal, None, Low, Medium, High)
04Bit Scope meter showing bit-utilization up to 32 bits
05Auto Blanking disables dither after 500 ms of silence
06Noise Shaping Curve visualization
07Artifact-free automation on all parameters
08Master On/Off bypass for avoiding digital artifacts

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Noise Shaping 'Optimal' setting for most mastering situations to balance quantization performance with a lower noise floor
  • 02Enable Auto Blanking to automatically silence dithering when input is silent longer than 500 ms, indicated by the light turning red
  • 03Match the Bit Depth control to your bounce or export resolution (e.g., select 16 Bit for CD mastering)
  • 04Use the Bit Scope meter to verify bit-utilization before dithering; if lower bit depth audio is contained within a higher bit depth file format, no dither may be necessary
