@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network BTW I think you shouldn't be too picky about bit depth as it only affects dynamic range. It is important for classical music and acoustic instruments in general because the difference between most quiet and the most loud sounds is great and everything in between should remain nuanced. EDM music on other hand is often compressed to reduce dynamic range and mastered to have particular level, so it's not that important.

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network If you don't do that, your music can get too quiet at moments, but too loud only a few moments later. Your listener will probably just sit there touching the volume knob and will get pissed pretty soon š
I mean, sure, audiophiles will pick highest sample rate and bit depth possible, but in real world scenarios the importance of it for most musical genres, ones meant to be enjoyed on the radio, is overblown.
