"If your max is at 50% (-48 dBFS) the input signal is way to weak. This of course won't improve by switching to 24 bit."There is an inmate here who used his Tascam recorder to digitize vinyl. He was proud of the fact that the recordings should have lots of headroom and therefor lots of dynamic range. He sent some tracks to me for a listen. I didn't have the heart to tell him that his recordings were all very weak and anemic - sounding rather dead - even with the Volume turned UP. Why was this? I don't know but I suspect his input signal was very weak.
In my limited experience with digitizing vinyl to my Mac using Audacity software I would let the signal clip slightly into the red but only on peaks. This kept it 'lively' with no perceptible distortion and never anemic.
