Import a music track into a 32bit float engine audio software
Put 2 gainer plugins on the track and lower the first gainer by 143dB
boost the second gainer by 143 dB
Listen, it sounds exactly the same.
And now compare it with the same track phase inverted: silence.

Maybe some of you experts (technically or experience/ear wise) can tell clear up some possible misinformation that I have read lately. Sorry if this posts twice, I tried to post before and it didn't show up for some reason.

1)32 bit Float doesn't do what it says it does (always land at 24 bits), and that 48 bit fixed (Pro Tools) method is better. Whats the reality?
