Default Re: 32bit or 24bit

A bit of levity - You will spend hundreds of hours on a mix, make pain staking decisions of different compressors, and effects and eq. Loads of time spent deciding 24bit, 32bit, 44k, 48 etc...

Send the song to your friends and post it on a public cloud offering and 99.9% of listeners will play it through crappy speakers on their mobile device, or earbuds.

Long gone are the days where someone enters a dedicated music library in their house, turns on their NAD receiver connected to the most expensive speakers, takes a snifter of brandy and sits back and enjoys a record from cover to cover.

As others have said; 24bit/ 44k, and make music and enjoy it. Remember anyone over 40 years old and beyond will not hear anything beyond 8k anyway. And the under 40's will just play stuff on their mobile devices.
