I've always recorded with 16bit 44.1 as the file type. But I think that's because years ago it was the best my old computer and soundcard could do reasonably. Now the plan is to make BIAB/RB tracks along with guitar and vocal recording for a singer/song writer client to use as examples. The tracks would contain a click track, clients vocal recorded, clients acoustic guitar recorded and 3 - 5 BIAB or RB generated tracks. Then, as certain musicians are available we would have them stop by and essentially replace the BIAB/RB tracks with their own performances. The client might then take the individual WAV file tracks to be imported to, say, ProTools for additional recording, editing, mastering, etc... So, my main question is; what resolution (Audio File Type) setting should I begin with on the initial recordings? And, what resolution should I use when converting the tracks to individual WAV files? (before they go to the bigger, still to be determined, studio.) I don't want to do the initial work and then have the bigger studio run into limitations they are not comfortable with. I hope my questions made sense. I won't be able to check back here for replies for a few days. So, please don't assume I'm ignoring anyone.

Does the noise in your head bother me ?
