start to loose things than gain because there is a limit to everything.
I respect though your oppinion and I agree with 16 bit recordings , thats
what I do, and I surely believe that BrianT is a pioneer in sound sculpting.

some kind of modeling/convolution and other magic tricks incorporated
into the mixer, but for heaven's sake don't halve your DSP juice for a marginally
more accurate LSB in a 32 bit word. It's not going to do squat to get you
where you want to be.
