Mixing bit rate wav files in the same project

[icu81b4]

In these days of remote social distancing recording where the artist records his own stuff. 

So I'm getting sent wav files that are different bit rates, mostly 32 but some 24 and 16,

Question - Am I ok to import them into  one project or do I have to convert them all to the same bitrate before I can work on them?

CbB can handle clips with different bit depths in the same project.

By default, import leaves the bit depth as is but it is possible to force them to a specific value. The setting is in Preferences > File > Audio Data

All clips in a project must be at the same sample rate. This conversion happens automatically during import.

Thanks scook, I have asked them to send me 24bit 44100 files - but I've  been sent some at 32bit and I think the one guy is using Garage band and exporting at 16bit - not sure if GarageBand can export at 24bit?
