Ok... so, a buddy of mine is just getting into recording and he posed an interesting discussion...
I record at 24/48... he records at 16/48... I bounce to 24/48 to pseudo-master my stuff... he bounces to the same bit/sample rate to pseudo-master...
He claims that is gives you more headroom going from 16 to 24 to master...
And, in a way that makes sense... but is it worth it if you're right back out of the 24 into 16 to render it to cd?
if someone could explain the mathematical pros and cons... not just preference, or "I hear this or that difference", but an explanation of the numbers behind it... I would appreciate it...
also, if this has been explained... I wouldn't know how to begin searching for it.
