Topic: DAW workflow question: 32 bit > 24 vs 32 all the way

[morst]

I got an F3 and now I realize how audacity handles 32float.


GREAT is how.


The default AMPLIFY plugin is able to take clipped-looking audio, and bring the peaks right down below -0 dBfs without any loss of shape.
I figure to bring it down a dB or two below clip, and send it to my limiter at 32 bit, and then take it down to 24 bits after I hit the limiter.
(for my limiting needs, I use Sony Sound Forge Pro [Mac] 2.5.1 which was ©2015)

Logic natively does 32 bit float now (since last december, at least)

Great to hear!
Does it handle polywav files well?

It can import them but doesn’t handle them as cleanly as I’d like. Sometimes they don’t break out or import as stereo.
