Re: 32bit or 24bit
If a converter or interface such as Carbon is actually outputting thirty-two bits, by all means record it. The reason for writing 32-bit files is to minimize truncation distortion. I worry about talk of 32-float headroom because the actual overload culprits are crappy analog line stages and the A to D converters themselves. Treating -10 a one's "zero" can improve quality to a staggering degree.
