The technical side to this group at the best of times gets out of hand as t=
o
what this group was originally set up to be.
I hardly ever see recordings made out in the field only theory, I have a 72=
2
& a 744 sound devices recorder, I will record in the field at 16bit and
24bit simultaneously in a quiet environment with the same mics at the same
gain. once I have done this and everybody can hear the difference (if ther=
e
is one) can we then stop this banging our heads against a brick wall?

Subject: Re: [Nature Recordists] Understanding bit-depth conversion and
dithering
I have a 744T. It has 24 bit convertors. It has 16 bit recording with
or without dither. Without dither it is truncated 24 bit. Not a fair
comparison. I have hundreds of old DAT recording from my 16 bit era.
History.
I feel like a race care driver discussing pickup trucks. I'd like to
bow out of a discussion I never should have joined in the first
place. I see no reason to continue trying to convince people of what
I know is obvious - 16 bit to me is a delivery medium, akin to MP3,
and I will originate 24 bit if there is any processing after the
recording...
Y'all can do as you like.
