CD Audio is 16-bit, 44.1kHz. Always, period.

You can burn the 24bit files to a DVD as data.

Can you list what you record with, what you capture to the computer with and what you want to do, as in what products do you want to end up with?

I know how it feels to have the LE version of something tell you the license for making mp3s or whatever has expired. It's annoying.
I have Sonar LE and it did the same thing.

I know that John,always have.

Thanks for the response Greener.

I presume the LE stands for "less expensive"?

I record on good old faithfull Roland VS880s slaved together (Old School)
After Im done with editing/mixing/processing/compression etc... I send the master left and right analog signals to an Alesis i02 interface,then to my pc for use with the CubaseLE in mastering mode,thats the only reason i use Cubase for.
The sound is clean and prestine,and Ive been able to convert to MP3@ 128,up untill now,I still have the ability of recording to cubase in wav,but cant convert to WMA,or,MP3.
What other options do I have

Why do you record into a digital recorder then convert to analog then re-convert back to digital in cubase?

The 880s are slaved,all outputs are going to a console (analog),been thinking about digital mixer.

The majority of my mastering tools are all analog,Crane/Manely comps,with the exception of Empircal labs comp.
