Subject:24-bit of course; but what about 32-bit?

I've just noticed that sound files recorded with Vegas set to 24-bit
recording using a Yamaha DS2416 sound card are actually saved as 32-
bit sound files.

I hope the next Sound Forge revision will include this bit-
depth as well...

Hi Stephen,

The default saving of 24-bit data into a 32-bit data space in Vegas
is not a good thing. Your A/D controls what bit depth your music is
converted to. Disk space is wasted by reserving 32-bits of space for
every 24-bit sample. Hopefully, Peter will respond to your question.
