Using 24-bit encoding gives you a lot of freedom to record at lower levels =
and boost later in post. For nature sounds 24-bit has allowed me to use a s=
tandard recording level for all set-ups. Thunder and close frogs are the on=
ly things that have overloaded my system. I just don=92t worry about levels=
.
Of course the best converters have noise down about 21 bits, so the bottom =
bits are just noise, but still, that=92s a long way below 16 bits.

it's an imperceptible difference. I suppose when recording quiet nature sou=
nds that it could make a difference, so I'll at least give it a try. The M1=
0 will go up to 96kHz/24-bit PCM. Looks like I'm gonna need that extra memo=
ry card after all. ;)
