how to apply dithering?

[sniper]

i know this may qualify as the most stupid question of this century BUT:

we're working with wavelab at my school (where i'm a teacher )

i've been searching high and low abouth dithering, when going from e.g 24 to 16.

how do you apply dithering in wavelab?? i tried to render in wavelab with settings set to \"16 bits\" but my file stays 24 bits...

in other words, how do i make sure my 24 bit file gets dithered??
could someone explain in big letters how one applies dithering in wavelab??

thanks in advance, sincerely IQ 34

When you render the file all sorts of choices come up as to the type of file imformation you want
