Or bounce using 16 bit instead of 24 in PAris..Truncate I think it is called
yes?

If your running 3.0 set the project window for 16 bit and render. You can
go the other way too. I've had projects where I found out the client really
wanted 24 bit files, after it was too late. I just render the 16 bits to
24. Yeah, the last 8 bits are empty, but I've NEVER had anyone complain.
Actually, they all remark on how good it sounds. One guy even said how glad
he was I could do 24 bit....it really made a difference.
Go figure.

Thanks Rod

That's what I thought but to be sure I took them all into CEP and did them
there...I'll try that trick tomorrow.

Just because the original project was in 16 bit doesn't mean you only get
16 bits out of it when bouncing at 24 bit.

The mix bus, eq and effects all have more than 16 bit resolution, plus multiple
16 bit tracks added together equals more than 16 bits of resultion.

Bouncing a 16 bit project at 24 bit does increase resolution. If you look
at the files you will see the last 8 bits are not empty.

Cheers,
Kim.

Kim...I was talking about rendering individual 16 bit tracks to 24 bit. Like
all the seperate drum tracks.
I agree with you on the bounce thing (as in bounce to disk).
I usually record in 16 bit and bounce the mix at 24 for just the reason you
mentioned.
Cheers
