Re: 24 bit vs. 16 bit

Hi Rory,

Yes, I used to use a 20dB cut on one channel of a stereo recording when I
had no idea where to set gain in conditions where I would be closer or at
unknown distances from say owls and coyotes. That was when I was after
singles and I didn't care if one channel got clipped a lot. Yes, I could use
two stereo recording setups set at different levels and that would be the
best technique. But it is hard enough to lug around one stereo set-up, keep
the batteries charged, and would drive me a little crazy dealing with all
the flash cards and backups. It would also be pretty expensive, so I will
stick with recording 24-bits at lower levels for now.
