Re: I Think You Don't Need More Than 20 Bits....

Have you ever recorded into 16 bits? Level setting is a real issue.

A good mic, mic pre amp and analog console has up to 130dB dynamic range. It will be hard to fit that into 16-bits without doing some peak limiting, or recording at very low levels.

For consumer delivery though, 16-bits plus dithering is fine.
