After a look at the Audacity help archive, I somewhat shamefaced looked at the preferences tab. The default sample format is indeed 32 bit float, but is selectable as 16 or 24bit integer as well. Also dither can be 'None' 'Rectangle' 'Triangle' and most interestingly 'Shaped'. Guess what, out-of-the box default is for 'Shaped'. I'll do a few more tests myself, but I'm rather of the opinion that I've just stirred up a non-issue. I shall get my coat and close the door quietly behind me :/ -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
