Subject:Rendering bit rate for soft synth

In a recent project, I rendered my vsti track as a 24 bit .wav file. W hile it was rendering I noticed that I had accidentally left the project bit rate at 16 bits. Will this in effect give me a 16 bit file. The properties of the rendered file said it was 24 bits but I wondered if the last 8 were simply 0's.

Also, how does one check to see if this really is the case? What software do people use to check the 1's and 0's?

Thanks,

Dave

The rendering settings are completely independent of the playback settings.

So, to answer you question: You will get in your rendered file what ever you told ACID to render at. The playback settings are audio hardware specific.

You can use a tool like Sound Forge to look a the audio. You wont be able to look at 1's and 0's, but Forge will tell you about the media.

Thanks for the quick response, Peter. I was thinking it was that way but wanted to be sure.
