Q. Should I bounce to 32-bit floating point or 24-bit fixed point audio files?
I’m using Ableton Live and bounced my last few finished tracks in the 32-bit float format. I’d rather not have too many different versions of the same tracks floating around, so is there a preferred word length for when I bounce files out for mastering?
