Re: 32-Bit Mix > 24-Bit Sound Card...What Happens ???

All internal calcuations in the software are 32 bit.



Yes...thanks...I know that. I need to know what Wavelab is sending to the Audio Interface. Is it 32-Bit float?, 32-Bit integer?, 24-Bit integer? See...I understand that, within the WaveLab 32-Bit FP mixing enviornment we have no overload distortion. But I'm hearing a +6dB signal in my studio monitors, distortion free (from the output of a multitrack montage.) The Master Section is of course showing the +6, but so are the Peak Meters. And what's more...the Audio Interface's output meters are also reading +6bB. If WaveLab were truncating the 32-Bit float in a conversion to say, 24-Bit integer, to send to the audio card, everything above 0dBFS would be chopped off; & the audio interface's output meters (supposedly coupled to the last stage in the chain) should be reading 0dB. That's why I need to know what WaveLab is sending to the audio card.

Thanks,
