They want to record live, so 24 bit ain't happening. They're a punk rock
band and want kind of a low-fi sound, so 16 bit is good enough for this
session.


I think that's not a well thought out way to think of this. The place to
get the sund you want is at the source, not in conversion. **** that
digital recorder, son, and rent a well-used cassette deck. There's your
low-fi.

Somehow at this point I'm thinking GIGO. [garbage in garbage out]
