Sakura Dither is a specialized plugin designed to finalize your mastering process by converting high-resolution floating-point audio into 8, 16, or 24-bit integer formats suitable for CD or streaming distribution. Positioned as the last effect in the mastering chain, it ensures your audio maintains clarity and detail when reducing bit depth, which is crucial for preparing professional-quality masters.

This plugin offers four distinct dither types, each carefully refined by an experienced mastering engineer to suit different sonic preferences. The options range from a natural and transparent character to warmer tones with subtle de-essing effects, as well as open and wide or electronic enhancements. These choices allow precise control over the final texture and presence of your master, enhancing its overall sound.

Sakura Dither also features an automatic mute function that activates when the input signal falls below a threshold, preventing unwanted noise during quiet passages. Visual meters for both input and output bit depth provide clear monitoring throughout the process. This combination of finely tuned dither types and practical utility tools makes Sakura Dither an essential plugin for achieving polished, professional masters.
