How to enter the bit depth of the recording

sigotnin

I am using the USB ASIO driver.
I can select the driver, but I can't find a place to enter the bit depth. The bit depth of this DAW device is 32bit by default.

It is 16bit integer when saved. If you change it, it will be custom, so 16bit seems to be the default.

Hi!

We're happy to have you with us today. We hope you're doing well.

Kindly send us a screenshot of the export settings you've used (showing 32bit) then the resultant file which saves as 16bit despite using 32bit as the export format.

Please use a cloud storage service (Google Drive/DropBox/WeTransfer/etc.) then send us the transfer link so that we may be able to access the files.

Also, you may open a support ticket through this link <https://www.nch.com.au/support/index.html> if you need immediate and direct assistance.

Hi Sigotnin,

I'm glad to see that you're trying to optimize your sound setup. The bit depth is an important part of sound quality, and it can be tricky to figure out the best settings for your DAW device. Fortunately, 16-bit seems to be the default for most DAWs, so you shouldn't have to worry about changing the bit depth. Just make sure to save your work in 16-bit and you should be good to go!
