Description 
Minimum inter-phrase 
When you choose the Remove silence between phrases mode, the Minimum inter-phrase silence value 
silence 
determines the minimum amount of silence needed between phrases for a new region to be created. 
Minimum length 
When you choose the Remove data beyond loop points mode, the Minimum length following loop end 
following loop end 
value determines the number of samples that must follow a loop.

Bit-Depth Converter 
The Bit-Depth Converter is used to increase/decrease the bit depth of a file while concealing the resulting quantization noise. 
•  
Decreasing a file’s bit depth decreases the overall size of the file, but results in added quantization noise, which can be masked 
using dither and noise shaping. 
•  
Increasing a file’s bit depth—while not improving the quality of the audio—allows subsequent audio processing to be performed 
with greater accuracy and resolution. 
Prior to decreasing a file’s bit depth, you should optimize the audio for conversion. For more information, see 
Note: 
There are no rules regarding maintaining audio quality when decreasing bit- depth. For this reason, you should always
experiment with the Dither and Noise shaping controls to determine the optimum settings for each file.  
Converting a file’s bit depth 
1.  
Open the Musicbed.pca file. 
2.  
From the Process menu, choose Bit Depth, and then choose Bit-Depth Converter from the submenu. The Bit-Depth Converter 
dialog is displayed. 
3.  
From the Bit depth drop-down list, choose the desired bit depth. 
4.  
If necessary, use the Dither drop-down list to specify the type of dither used to mask the quantization noise results from lowering a 
file’s bit depth. For more information, see 
5.  
If desired, use the Noise shaping drop-down list to specify any noise shaping to be applied to the fileFor more information, see 
Note:
 When increasing a file’s bit depth, set the Dither and Noise shaping controls to None and Off respectively.
