An explanation of 64-bit audio and its benefits

[SaGruenwdt]

why 64bit when the master-idiots do a loudness war on the final mix? you could easily use 8bits it would still sound the same with that loudness war going on.

[SimonMilIs]

@SaGruenwdt Totally agree

[robertvoice]

64bit-depth por audio unnecesary, We dont need so much dBs to listen, unless we are half-deph. 32bit for Audio is enough for a good recording quality with no Clipping.

[johneymute]

yep just when you think 24bit 192 khz is the end for consummers and proffessionals in audio technology, nope.

cuzz with 64bit audio even those older peoples and peoples with the best hearings wich prefer annalogue audio/ vynil over digital audio ca,nt hear anny difference between them annymore in terms of natural sound.

no noise,no crack,no clipping,no flatty dull,no muffy sound etc,,, annymore.

it,s time to say goodby to 16bit cd,mp3 audio!!!!!

[blo0magic]

obviously.. 64bit systems are only able to run 64 bit version of the software..

[shadowoflightvideo]

@blo0magic

nope

[Pharosurreal]

one day there will be mainstream 64 bit but this is not it.. not yet...

He's taking about the precision of the editing.

it will makes an exponential difference,

(it's like comparing tft monitors 16 mil colors to to CRT's 8+billion)

[melnorm]

Naah. My royal ears can't bear 64-bit!!

I'll wait for 256-bit quad-precision audio!

Perhaps I'd go shopping now. Guards! Ready my horse.

[gruponemesis]

problem is theres not too many 64 bit plugins available ....especially my beloved Waves Diamond pack

=/

[georgemargaris]

they are talking about 64-bit systems, not the audio-resolution, pay attention!

[melnorm]

You pay attention georgemargaris.

0:10

It says "higher resolution, inreased dynamic range, sonic clearity"

You can't have more dynamic range by just changing CPU instruction bandwith. He's talking about audio bandwidth.

[thechoice33]

I don't use 64 bit for recordings, i use 24/96 sounds almost as good.

[CliqueOblique]

so you can get 64 bit in 32 bit xp?

[zamadatix]

did you even watch the video?

[melnorm]

Audio resolution is not based on OS.

Once Windows used to be an 16bit OS and we had apps that were able to process 24 and 32 bit audio. It's based on audio application and drivers.(and audio hardware)
