Audition converts files that are opened to 32bit floating for all
edits unless you change the default to defeat it. There is no change
made on sample rate.
I guess I don't understand the benefit of conversion to 192khz
inorder to make a "big" jump. I thought math was math to a
computer. I guess I will catch up on that as I record more and find
myself converting more.=20
Then there is the million dither choices to make on down sampling
which is a separate nightmare of a choice.
