Thanks passing the information on, Marc. I wasn't aware of this behaviour.

I'm glad you're up and running again. For what it's worth (just in case you are not aware of this), BIAB Realtracks are 16 bit, 44.1 (i.e. 16/44.1) kHz.


I write the below in case anyone who reads this thread might like my take on bit-rate and frequency sampling rate.

If Realtracks are what is being exporting as 24-bit, I doubt that there is much to gain in the early part of creating a production should these tracks be being sent to a DAW to work on. The reason that I say this is because every time the bit-rate or frequency-rate is changed, dithering is involved and this can lead to degradation of sound.

I have found that it's better to leave dithering for the final stage so that it's only done once. This reduces the potential for audio artifacts to be created. Thus in Reaper, my DAW, I have tracks at 16/44.1 from BIAB, recorded tracks at 24/48 (and often tracks at other bit- and frequency-rates). These various tracks all get dithered and noise-shaped in the final render to a single WAV file. Reaper does that well.

Regards,
Noel
