Also: due to the way computers store information, 18 bit PCM takes the same amount of disk space as does 24 bit PCM (and often the same amount as does 32 bit floating point PCM data.) Well, my point wasn't that using 24 bit has anything wrong with it, nor, with the cost of storage today, is there a problem with using 24 bit for any project. In fact, the processing aspects of digital certainly require that you use 24 bit, and save it as 32 bit floating point if you can. I was just trying to make it clear that there are technical aspects of 24 bit converters that wouldn't necessarily make them better than 16 bit in given circumstances. And I was merely pointing out one of the reasons we have so many 24-bit converters on the market when their real performance is more like 19-22 bits. |
