recording 32 bits?

Post by pepexpress »

Hello,
I am using a Focusrite card and in the sound control panel of windows I have 48,000hz and 24 bits selected ... when I open Mixcraft, in the bottom bar it says 48,000hz and "32bits" ... Can you explain it to me please?
In mixcraft preferences, I can only change buffer and sample rate of my sound card...

Kind regards and thanks

Pep, Lleida (Spain)

Hello and welcome Pep!

You can ignore the 32 bit indication.
In certain cases, the audio driver is falsely reporting this data, when it is actually 24 bit. Dont let it trouble you. Carry on. 8)
Stay in tune, Mark

Hi,

This only happens with ASIO. When Mixcraft queries ASIO audio drivers, they generally always say "32 bits," even if they aren't set to 32-bit.
