RE: A nasty surprise in Adobe Audition

> Hope this gives you at least a little peace of mind!

You should try using the "Statistics" display in Audition
(sorry I can't give you the exact procedure -- I've just
uninstalled the program!). The bottom number on the
screen gives you the actual number of active bits in the file.
For example a floating-point format file with real floating-point
data will say "float". But a 16-bit fixed-point file **or**
a floating-point format file actually containing only 16-bit data
will say "16".

Try reading in one of your files with the "Interpret floating-point
files as 16.8" setting in the Preferences, Data tab **on**.
The Statistics, "active bits" reading should be "16".

DON'T SAVE THE FILE.

Close it. Turn **off** the "Interpret. . . 16.8" checkbox.
Read the file back in. The Statistics, "active bits" reading
should now be 24.
