24 bit to 16 bit conversion

Mixing down to 16-bit

Hey everybody,

I have recorded my songs in 24-bit, and as the last part of the process, as I am mastering, I am also using a 'UV22HR' plugin to convert into 16 as I create the WAV files. At least that's my understanding. However, I'm reading now that I should mix to the same bit rate as my session was recorded in.

I have some tracks that are originally 16 bit, wondering what the benefits or consequences would be to convert to 24 bit to mix and then reconvert & dither to 16 bit for CD burning? Thanks for all opinions!
