Hi list, 
given a large number of signals (N > 1000), I wonder what happens when adding 
them with a running sum Y.

         1                N - 1
Y = ----- * X + ( -------) * Y
         N                  N

Given the limited precision, intuitively something bad will happen for a large 
N.
Is there a better method than the trivial scale and sum to minimize the effects 
of the loss of precision?
If I reduce the bandwidth of the inputs signals in advance, do I have any 
chance of minimizing this (possible) artifacts?
Thank you
