The IDR Section
IDR ™
IDR ™ technology was designed by Michael Gerzon, a Gold-medal AES fellow, and a world authori-
ty in psychoacoustics. He also invented the SoundField microphone, and was one of the major con-
tributors to Ambisonics™. The design of IDR is a result of his long-term research, dating back to
1982, with many other leading experts in digital resolution enhancement technologies.

Quantize controls the final bit depth (8,12,16, 20, 24) of the output of the L1; it is not related
to the input bit depth. Waves plug-ins maintain a 48-bit resolution during all processing. The
Quantize setting captures the best data possible for the selected bit depth.
16-bit
Set the Quantize value to 16-bit to save the final output to DAT or CD.
8- and 12-bit
Set the Quantize value to 8- or 12-bit to save the final output for low-resolution multi-
media. The file should be sample-rate converted prior to level maximization and dither-
ing.
20-bit
Set the Quantize value to 20-bit to save the final output to a 20-bit storage medium.
24-bit
Set the Quantize value to 24-bit to save the final output to a 24-bit storage medium. This
setting is best suited for certain archival media or intend on a subsequent 24-bit file
bounce.
