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.

32 bit integer for interface, useful?
The new Steinberg interface supports 32 bit integer recording. I am curious if this can be expected to be a bit improvement over 24 bit. Im an the market for a higher end interface to transfer a ton of old tapes and records, as well as record and mix new stuff.

Benefits / Features of 32 bit AD/DA
Hey, I've noticed a couple of the new interface units employing 32 bit adda comverters (RME Adi-2 pro, sound devices mix-6).
Just wondering if there were any benefits of any kind, and what the 32 vs 24 bit depths means in an adda context in general.

Waves R-Channel 32 bit
I was putting the beginnings of a mix together this morning, working with the drum tracks.
The kick and snare are both live - the kick is an ancient Ludwig 22" from the 60's; it looks like it's been run over by a truck, but it sure still sounds good. ;) ( I have three vintage snares, a '68 Black Beauty, a '71 Suprasonic, and a Rogers wood snare).
