I've read that it sounds equivalent to 12bit linear. Linear sampling has more detail that we can't hear. However, 16bit linear is good enough. And simple transforms like gain and fade are easy to perform without distortion. So I'd suggest converting the file to 16-bit linear audio. Logarithmic scales are fine when space is tight, and for end user distribution. It's less fun to deal with in processing. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
