Default Re: How do I convert my 16-bit pro-tools session to 24-bit ?

When you do either of these techniques, does it do anything to the sound of the 16-bit files? I have always wanted to do this, but thought that if you converted a 16-bit sound to 24-bits, it would really mess up the sound. I record my initial session on a Mackie 24/96, and the max bit rate I can use is 16-bit, but I have heard that guitars really sound a lot better when recorded at 24-bit. So my plan was going to be to record the drums in 16-bit, convert them up to 24-bit, and then record the guitars, bass, and vox in 24-bit. Does this make any sense, or would I be better off just continuing the session at 16-bit, until I can afford an interface that will allow me to record at 24-bit direct into protools?

Sorry to hijack the question, but hopefully the answers will be helpful to both of us!
