File Bit Depth Advice
Hi Can anyone advise me on setting the File Bit Depth in 'Audio Data:All Projects'? In Driver settings, I've selected the audio driver bit depth at 24 and have enable 64-bit Double Precision Engine. In the Audio Data, I've currently set the Record Bit Depth to 32, Render Bit the same and Import bit depth as 'original'. The range is from 16 to 64bit for all these settings. Any pro/cons to setting at say the highest? Thanks

A larger bit depth creates a larger file and larger numbers for your computer to calculate with, so it increases the load on your system somewhat. Larger bit depth has to do with the accuracy and dynamic range with which a waveform is drawn. Generally I don't believe it's useful to set the recording file bit depth higher than your soundcard supports. There will just be extra zeros tacked on the way I understand it. However if you're using a lot of FX you're doing many calculations on the source material/waveforms. So extra accuracy could theoretically be beneficial. As an example; 5.253 gets rounded off to 5.25. But twice 5.253 is 10.506, which becomes 10.51, not 10.50 (twice 5.25). Conversely, dividing 5.253 by two becomes 2.6265, another decimal, which may be lost without sufficient bit depth. In practice, I haven't been able to hear a difference between 32 bit and 24 bit, but I do hear the difference between 24 and 16. I always stay at 24.

I would say record bit depth at 32 is overkill. But your mileage may vary. If your system doesn't complain and you don't mind the larger audio files, it's whatever.

I agree. No more bits for recording than your interface can provide. Rendering, bouncing, etc is a different story - go higher there if you can afford it CPU wise.

I miss-read. Still too early. 24 bit for recording: good enough for most audio stuff 32 bit for rendering: no truncating occurs here no one has found any reason to use the 64 bit engine, mainly cuz the chip is already running at 64 bits, so they all say

There is no reason to use a record bit depth higher than your sound card as no changes happen between the signal entering Sonar and it being written to the file. IOW, the extra bits will contain no data, but will use more disk space and will increase the amount of work done reading/writing. For rendering, 32bit is best as it preserves all of the useful data and protects you from any inadvertent clipping. Setting it higher (64bit) will have no benefit, but will use twice as much space and double the amount of work done reading/writing.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

These setting are what I use: - 64 bit engine should always be on. Although, if you just enable it when bouncing and exporting, you will be good to go. But why give yourself more work. so just leave that checked at all times.
- Import bit depth should be set to 32bit (that is a floating point)
- Audio driver bit depth should be 24bit (no sound card can record higher than 24bit fixed point)

There's no real world benefit to turning it on, so many of us who understand the math leave it off. However, with the power of modern processors there's usually no downside to turning it on either.

Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'll go with 24bits for the audio driver bit depth and 32bits for the rendering side. The 64bit engine appears from your feedback to be unnecessary, however it also seems that there is no down-side to leaving it on. Thanks PS Interesting video link, TheSteven, cheers...now if only someone can explain the explanations given.

The 64 bit engine is for processing. It doesnt' produce 64 bit files. And with the speed of today's processors it doesn't slow things up. that and the rest of your settings is pretty much mine, so I think they are marvey poo-poo. @

Thanks for the advice and brain drain links guys. I certainly aim to achieve 'marvey poo-poo' settings for my little studio. Just got a Quad-Capture to try it out as my Creative Elite Pro seemed to be the on-going cause of BSOD over the years. Working fine...now about a D-A convertor??

re >D-A convertor?? You've got a Quad-Capture, you've got Sonar - you should be fine. If your mixes end up lacking its not going to be because you neglected to buy Brand X's D-A converter. I'd save my money. If its burning a hole in your pocket buy yourself a some quality microphones. For acoustic instruments proper recording & mic'ing techniques make a bigger difference than any element in the signal chain.

I have a good mic, but it's more about - for me at least - chasing a better detailed mix. When I read about how D-A converters improve upon this by using better converters and liking it to 'taking a blanket' off the speakers, then it makes me wonder about what I'm actually not hearing in mixes. It's another topic and I have a lot to learn. I suppose I'm chasing the fantastic mix which impresses me or makes me go 'wow'! I know at least that getting good mixes is a combination of having the gear, the knowledge and a creative application...and yes, whilst money is definitely not burning a hole in my pocket, I can look around to see what more might assist me in my journey to the 'perfect mix'. These forums and contributors are a great place to start 'throwing it all out there'. Thanks for your advice.

Your Quad Capture has D/A converters too, that's how you get sound. A large part of the sound of D/A converters is actually the clock, getting a different D/A converter to hook up to your Quad Capture makes very little sense if it has to follow your QC's clock. And if you get one with its own clock you're basically talking about a new soundcard. While it is true that you could probably improve on things by upgrading to an RME card or something in that range, you'd most likely get a vastly greater improvement by spending the same amount of money on room treatment, monitors, good plugins or books/courses on mixing. Forget D/A converters for now. They may be worth your money at some point but it'll be a long time before they're the weakest point in your setup.

Yes thanks...I was aware that the Quad had them, but somewhat inferior in comparison to higher cost products...like the RME cards, which I was actually contemplating but couldn't afford right now. I did read a review on a number of D/A converters and apparently if connected via sp/dif to the Quad, one could use the more superior converters...I don't yet understand how it works, but the reviewer stated such, which is why I was contemplating it. I'm mostly working with soft synths at this point, so room treatment is probably not important. I do however have a couple of Polk Audio speakers, which whilst a very good home theatre speaker, probably doesn't ultimately do audio any justice. I have no idea at this point how much better studio monitors will be. I have seen some 'xy' ones and they scared me off...need to know more before going down that road. And yes, I've done a couple of the mixing tutorials on Sonar X1/X2 and they certainly helped me in my approaching to mixing...took it up a notch I think.

One of the early points made in the video (check from 2:50 to 3:18 on http://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml) that I linked to in a previous post was that the specs on D-A conversion using "10 year old boring consumer grade audio devices" exceeds the range of human hearing. Modern interfaces have much measurably better specs but that doesn't mean you can hear the difference. Assuming it might make a difference you'd have to replace the D-A conversion everywhere it happens in the DAW. Just look at all the wave files in a projects audio folder. So out goes the Quad-Capture and in comes the ??? Edit: I see the the Quad-Capture D-A topic has already been addressed in newer posts

Room treatment is very important if you're doing any mixing. What you're mixing (softsynths or recorded stuff) is irrelevant. Also, about the external D/A converters, if you're hooking them up to your QC you have to use your QC's clock which means most likely you won't get any noticeable improvement at all. And yes, home theatre speakers are almost invariably terrible for mixing. If you were inspired by comments that said "it's like taking a blanket off your mix", in my not that humble opinion you should invest in basic room treatment and some serious monitor speakers. The improvement will be of a scale entirely incomparable to getting a different soundcard or D/A converter.

Fabio, with the system you have now you are 90% the way their, tech wise. Although it is heresy to say so, most of the cheaper music equipment is perfectly acceptable. The Quad, esp. the ADDA converters, will do the job. Sure, you could get a benchmark for a "cleaner" conversion or a Burl for a "bigger" (ie. transfomer) version of the sound. Many, if not most folk won't hear the difference. Why, because there isn't that much. Sure, switching between different hardware in real time in a good environment can show the difference, but an mp3 in your car going down an asphalt road ... If you have a decent computer and interface you already have the basics of a good system. It is best to worrry about techniques - recording and arranging - until you hear the flaws and bump up against the hardware. Until that time it is very easy to spend money and not understand why. The differences in hardware are real, but incredibly small until you know what you are hearing. Hearing is a job and takes time to develop. As sander sez, the best thing you can do is improve your listening/recording environment. Big, neutral speakers. Room tuning. You don't need Barefoots and a $10,000 room to match, but everything you can do to improve the environment is good. And when it gets good, take the time to learn it. I've had the same yamaha speakers for 35 years. I still use them at home. I know how the sound, where they are strong and their weakness (every piece of hardware has those attributes) and how to work around them so even in my jeep on country roads a mix translates well. Mixes don't offer up very many surprizes, even at the main studio w/ giant Adams for mains. Next is a mic - or several of them if you do a lot of various acoustic recording. But a large diameter Fet is de rigeur for vocals (a tube if you can afford it), small diameters for acoustic gutiars and strings, and a 57 and ribbon for amps. Good preamps open up a different world of mic placement and techniques and a small bit of sound. Outboard hardware adds more technique, allowing you to preshape a sound before it hits the converters and digital (which depends, of course, of knowing how you want to preshape and that only comes from experience). The only downside of buying high-quality gear in the beginning is it is harder to make mistakes. Which sounds like a good thing. But until you actually record a guitar amp w/ a ribbon mic and the signal is too weak and you have to spend a ton of time "fixing it in the mix" you won't appreciate a preamp that delivers 80 dB of clean gain w/o crapping out w/ overs or in noise floor. If Nietzche said that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger, then discovering what doesn't work on cheaper gear makes you a better engineer, song writer, performer. @ @

Lifted veil is a matter of perception. There is a lot of placebo effect going on that amplifies. A matter of inches can seem like feet, until one gets some distance. That being said, I wouldn't go back to using my older harder (if I didn't have to). An inch here, an inch there and you do talk about feet. @

My current mic is a RODE NT2-A, which I feed into my Joe Meek Twin Q Dual Studio Channel. I mostly use it for vocals and some acoustic work. Most of the well appreciated feedback seems to point towards more effective monitors and less re better hardware and/or sound cards. Some feedback on other posts though have stated that for example, RME 'sounds better' than say the Quad...so I guess that kind of statement continues to feed my curiosity. Having said that, studio monitors is an area that I'm very uniformed about and it may be well worth further investigation and investment. Would anyone care to recommend some in say the $500-to $2000 range? Also, would you use a sub with say a couple of studio monitors to hear the bottom end? Or do you need a specific studio sub? I have seen some pretty expensive studio monitors, so I don't know whether the aforementioned budget will only attract a 'cheap' studio monitor sound? Again, I thank you all for your wonderful knowledge. PS ...'I wouldn't go back to using my older harder (if I didn't have to).' AT, not sure what you mean by 'older harder'? PSS What does room treatment entail?

I have the same mic, it's quite sufficient for your purposes I'd say, especially with a decent preamp. I use DynAudio BM5As that I'm quite happy with, I think I paid a little over 400e per speaker. They're not the largest speakers and lose a little accuracy in the low end even if they do go pretty low for smaller speakers. I have been thinking about adding a sub, the DynAudio matching one is like 900 euros. It would be nice but I fear my current room is too small to really make it useful. Bass frequencies need some space and especially in a "bad" room they can really screw up your mix image - some frequencies will resonate in the room while others will seem to cancel themselves, that kind of thing. So altogether I think those DynAudio's serve my room really well. They don't have the "wow" factor in the sense of making your stuff sound good. But once you get to work on your mix you'll appreciate them. The mids and highs are very precise and so is the stereo image. I changed to them from old generic hifi speakers and suddenly it did matter if I put 1dB more mids in the snare.
I haven't really A/Bd a bunch of monitors though. DynAudio was recommended to me a few times, the price range and size seemed to fit me, and it turned out well. I believe they are one of the more serious brands in the sense that they don't really do the very cheap end such as Edirol or KRK.
Room treatment means treating the room so that it doesn't reflect too much, and especially that it doesn't reflect certain frequencies more than others. The highs and mids are not too difficult in this respect, a hanging rug or some carpet on the floor can do a lot. The bass frequencies are trickier cause they're not stopped by simple rugs, and depending on your speakers and the size of the room, the angles of the walls etc, they can create standing waves (they will resonate and amplify themselves) or seem to cancel themselves out. This is something you'll need to find out for your room (and listening position).

Before you spend a single Shekel on monitors/room treatment, it would be useful to know your current situation. What size/shape of room? Do you have near neighbours above/below/to the side?How is your gear setup in your room?
