I mean most music is mastered in 24bits cause you need the lower noise floor

and orchestral music tends to have a lot of dynamics, so it benefits from the added range in that sense as well
2017-12-01 33550, 2017
Spacebear
not true. The human ear can hear 140db dynamic range, but we can only precieve 120db at once
2017-12-01 33504, 2017
Spacebear
and 16bit can represent 120db preceived
2017-12-01 33512, 2017
Yaniel
but when mixing/mastering it may be necessary to amplify a single track, sometimes by quite a lot
2017-12-01 33515, 2017
Yaniel
so yeah, noise floor
2017-12-01 33558, 2017
Spacebear
yup :) the entire music industry is so full of horseshit its saddening
2017-12-01 33522, 2017
Spacebear
like "vinyl sounds better".. no you just actually had to master it properly....

(also I guess less distortion when upscaling since there are more bits to throw away :P)
2017-12-01 33513, 2017
Spacebear
Yaniel, you mean converting 16 bit to 24?

PCM uses integers, so all thats done is pad 0s to the front, then maybe add an offset to it

no information is lost.

no I mean when you have a signal with an amplitude of 10% and you need to scale that to 80%
2017-12-01 33556, 2017
Yaniel
10% of 24 bits is a lot more than 10% of 16 bits
2017-12-01 33544, 2017
Spacebear
well first off, you should never be using a DSP to boost a signal like that
2017-12-01 33553, 2017
Spacebear
it will cause distortion, and alot of it.
2017-12-01 33516, 2017
Spacebear
Second you can always convert the 16bit to 24bit for the dsp via padding

if you're doing multiple steps of dsp filtering & editing, using 24bit (or even 32bit float) as an intermediate format certainly make sense to avoid adding distortion that might be audible in the final mix; even if the original recorded audio was 16bit.
2017-12-01 33519, 2017
Spacebear
^ I'm talking more about distribution and consumer playback
2017-12-01 33506, 2017
kepstin
yeah, for distribution to consumers there's really not much point in leaving it at >16bit. Makes the files bigger without a correspondingly large increase in audio quality.
2017-12-01 33540, 2017
Spacebear
I would argue no increase in sound quality. Higher sample rates could be argued better, but even then you're grapsing at beans

16/44.1khz is just perfect :)

If I understand correctly, the CSG is mostly for not-printed metadata, that is, everything but release/track titles. Correct?

English for example calls for "no" and "op" everywhere
