Is cakewalk record 32 bit float

[Gaurav]

I am using zoom audio interface with support 32 bit float and software is cakewalk, is cakewalk is capable of recordong 32 bit float, I tried many ways but not successful in recording 32 bit float inside cakewalk. Can anyone suggest me how to do it if cakewalk supports 32 bit float

I don’t have Cakewalk anymore but in preferences there’s a page where you can set audio recording bit depth. 
I have a Zoom L8 and have that option but looking into it, I soon learned it is a total waste of hard drive space. 
If the choice was floating point that would be different. But it is a fixed amount. 
 

Most  Daw’s use 32 floating point for internal processing and rendering. But 24 bit has been chosen by even the most high end audio interface manufacturers for good reason. Zoom is just giving you an option to use something that at best will make a .005% difference to your audio quality. Better A/D converters and pre amps would be needed to start taking advantage of that resolution. But even that’s debatable. 
 

48/24 is the industry standard for good reasons. You want better sound? Treat your room and and  purchase good quality gear.
