What is 32-bit float recording? x000B
32-bit float recording is a method of digital audio recording that uses a 32-bit floating point number to represent each
audio sample. This allows for a higher dynamic range and greater precision compared to 16-bit or 24-bit recording.
With 32-bit float recording, even very quiet sounds can be accurately represented, and loud sounds can be captured
without distortion. It also provides more headroom for processing and mixing audio without introducing artifacts or
reducing the quality. This type of recording is commonly used in professional audio applications such as music
production, film and video game sound design, and broadcast engineering – what this means is your sound source
can never be too soft or too loud, the NT1 5th gen can capture all the audio detail from a whisper to a gun shot.
