ARA 2 and Melodyne "Fuzzy Syllables"

[RexRed]

I think you are right MSMcleod, I closed my project and reopened it and now it is reading 24bit. Also, windows device sound properties does not say 32bit...

It seem like this is some sort of marketing gimmick to get people to buy the interface.

Some interfaces. in CbB preferences, show 32bit as the audio driver bit depth.

This usually means the interface is bundled with DSP software. 

It does not mean the hardware has 32bit A/D converters.

IOW, it is the software between the interface and the DAW that is running at 32bit.

I see what you mean about the headroom with 32bit.

That does not seem to be that big of a thing considering one can just set the meter at a reasonable place in the middle. 

But is the 32 bit wave file more robust, it would have less noise but would it also be clearer and less distorted by noise?

I am wondering if the MicPre 3 II has loop back too for gaming and podcasts. 

If I purchased a MixPre-3 II would that run with Cakewalk in 32bit and would Melodyne work with those floating point files?

Is it just 32bit inside the MixPre-3 II or would the audio interface part pass this ability on to Cakewalk?

ASIO4All appears for be 32 and 64 bit floating point...

I am going to try and see if this works.

This does not matter at all.

ASIO4All is not a driver.

It is a wrapper for WDM drivers intended for use with software that only works with ASIO. 

CbB supports WASAPI and WDM natively.
