Had to smile that you think you will need more than 96dB DNR to
record old vinyl :-) (Most DAWS work internally at 32bit floating,
or better now anyway) Still, won't hurt at least.
That's a long and complicated discussion, which I don't have time for
while the rice is on the stove. Suffice it to say that every
declicking algorithm I've ever used works more effectively, with
fewer artifacts, on 24-bit files (or the 32-bit version of them) than
on 16. Worth using just on that basis.
OK, I'll take your word for that, but would only be because the
declicking algorithm is badly written.
I'm not sure I'd agree with that. More bandwidth means more information,
especially for a high-frequency event like a click.
Whoa. Serious brain fart. (Who said anything about more bandwidth.) Excuse me.
