Hi Ralf, > I > decided to choose 16-bit because Rosegarden only submits 16-bit and > 32-bit, but not 24-bit and 24-bit is what the Envy microchip can do.
Jack uses 32-bit float samples internally. This setting in Rosegarden (Settings -> Configure Rosegarden -> Audio -> Record audio files as...) is for people who want to save disc space, it doesn't affect Jack's bit rate. Ardour has a preference to save 24-bit instead of 32-bit float files in sessions, but personally I've never needed to use that setting. On your machine, you should use Rosegarden's 32-bit float setting. The bit reduction at the soundcard ports happens because most soundcards don't support the 32-bit rate. This doesn't matter if you are doing all-digital mastering 'inside the box', but it does matter if you are taking your mastering chain out of the computer and into an external device. If that's the case, you might want to dither the Jack output (the setting for this is just below Interface in Jack Control -> Setup). Cheers!
