Dithering with different bit depth clips inside the project

[Wojtek Stecyszyn]

Im doing stem mastering and I want my master to be at 16 bit depth.

The stems provided from my friend are all in 16 already, but on few clips I had to do some editing and while bouncing edited clips cakewalk used my default setting and rendered them to 32. Now I have project with different bit depths.

The job is done and i would like to export is a s a master in 16 .

Question:

Can I export it with these bit differences?

Should I use dithering to manage these few 32 bit depth clips?

Maybe it is better to render these 32 clips inside the project before exporting all in 16?

Or stop being lazy and export all as it is in 24 bit depth then open new project and  import and export in 16 with dithering?

I will be grateful for your help

Yes, you can export with mixed bit-depths. Cakewalk will convert the 32-bit files to 16 bits automatically. Use whatever dither algorithm you normally prefer.
