iZotope, Inc. has announced that Sonic Studio is licensing iZotope's MBIT+ dither and 64-bit SRC sample rate conversion algorithms for inclusion in SonicStudio's soundBlade native.

soundBlade is a general purpose production tool designed to record, edit, process, restore, and deliver audio on CD and DDP, or as AIFF, WAV or BWF files for further processing. soundBlade is available in two versions: soundBlade native and soundBlade accelerated.

iZotope's MBIT+ word length reduction algorithm features psychoacoustic noise-shaping based on research performed with musical program material. The 64-bit SRC algorithm allows continuous control over the tradeoff of pre- and post-ringing caused by linear phase and minimum phase algorithms, in addition to control over filter steepness versus ringing.
