Are you resampling in sound forge before you dither? Because you said dither from 96 to 44, or did you mean resample, or dither from 24 to 16? I've never noticed issues with the monitor mixer, it does use the 36bit bus, I don't think it would truncate bits, since it should technically be able to handle the 24 bits with no problem. In Sonar, what algorithms are you using?

Now we both have delta cards in some of our machines, and you know about the monitor mixer to dump audio back and forth between applications. I've always done so, but usually both apps are at 44.1 I've recently jumped up to 24-96 recording, but I want to dump 44.1 mixes. Now I can actually hear pitch variance, rounding errors when I dither down via sonar, or sound forge from 96 to 44.1 but I can't when dumping across the bus, with the monitor mixer. But I'm wondering if maybe bits are being truncated, none the less. Because it's a digital dump across the 36 bit bus, and I wonder how the delta card is translating sample rates. It sounds pretty good, but I wonder if I might be better off hooking a patch cord between two separate interfaces even on two separate machines and doing it the way we did it back in the day, even if it means another d to a translation, because this ensures you really dump exactly what you hear, and it get's re-captured again, even at a lower format, there's no funny stuff going on with the bit stream. Even though deltqa manual says you can sarfely dump stuff across the bus this way, I'm a little suspicious of going between sampling rates. What do you say, think there's anything to this?
