Default Re: Dithering from 32 Float to 24 Bit

The "not dithering twice" argument often confuses people about what dither does.

Dither PREVENTS distortion when writing back to a file after signal processing. We are always choosing BETWEEN dither and distortion. The ONLY time to not dither is when absolutely no change of any kind is being made to the audio. Even a .01 dB. level change requires dither to prevent the even more audible crunchy distortion that digital is famous for.
