I have been reading a lot of articles explaining dither (because I didn't understand what that setting did in my sequencer program) and I now have a good understand about what dither is but none of the articles have cleared this up?
When recording at 24-bit does dither need to be used if the dynamic range is small and the peak levels around -6Bd?
Secondly, just thought of this whilst typing, can anyone tell what the term "32-bit float" means?
Thanks everyone.

[quote=Bob Katz] although the quantization steps of a 16-bit word can only theoretically encode 96 dB of range, with dither, there is an audible dynamic range of up to 115 dB!
Bob is a pretty damn sharp guy, but I believe he is confusing broadband dynamic range with narrowband dynamic range.
