Default Which wav type to use?

For the first time I am now exporting a wav file using
Adobe Audition, and I see there are several types of wav
files to choose from. Which should I use? I'm trying to
save the file that will be used for a commercially released
CD compilation.


Files must be "44100 - 16-bit - Stereo". This is established
when starting a new file, etc.


Not necessarily; a lot of the time it's preferred to record at 32-bit
(Audition's way of processing 24-bit data), then manipulate the file as
needed. The last thing you do is dither it down to 16 bits. Or, if you're
sending to someone else to master, you leave it in 32-bit format. Let their
mothers worry.

When you save, use the "Windows PCM (*.wav)" option.


Yep.

Peace,
Paul
