Hello,

if you want to pass from 96000/24 to audio 44100/16, you must apply
dithering to avoid various unwanted artifacts. Understanding what
dithering does is a bit tricky, but you can just use a simple preset
on your DAW or audio editor if you use one, and that would do the trick.
I don' t think there are any downsides as far as the sampling rate,
but that depends on what you want to do with them.. If you just want
to burn a cd out of them, then its better to record them on 44100..
Regarding the bit depth, I would suggest you allways use the 24bit,
as this means a far greater dynamic range and technically speaking
ths means you no longer need to be "as near as possible to the 0 dbu"
to get a decent recording, this eases a lot of things and you can
avoid a lot of unwanted clippings.

cheers
