Ableton/Live/UG/29 Audio Effect Reference/30 Redux/02 Bit Reduction
- The bit reduction controls are on the right. Fewer bits mean less dynamic range, more noise and distortion; at extremes everything becomes jagged square waves.
- Bits — bits used for the output
- Shape — the quantizer curve; higher values keep quiet parts finer than loud parts. The result depends on the input's dynamic range.
- DC Shift — offsets the signal before quantizing, changing the distortion a lot at low Bits: louder and crunchier
- Dry/Wet — set to 100% on a return track
