most do 24, I thought...
argument would be that it sounds better, yes

About the 16/24/32 question, I don't think there's audible difference between 24 and 32 bit (even if there IS a huge mathematical difference between a 32 bit range and a 24 bit range). These days I usually work in 24 bit, because I think I can hear the difference between 16 bit and 24 bit, but probably I'm just fooling myself

24-bit becomes important if you're cutting very dynamic material (i.e. a voice or acoustic instrument) and when you're processing that signal. Some Pro-Tools plugins convert 24-bit audio to 48-bit interpolated resolution because processing sounds better the more bits you have to work with. Same goes for sample rate. All goes back to 24-bit when bounced to disk, though.
But fret not, your vox will be captured at 24-bit, imported into sonar at 24-bit, and processed at 32-bit float, so you will lose no resolution. Have fun!

as for the sound...thats what I meant, too...mathematically it "sounds" better, but...CDs have always sounded "good enough" to me, so...

Yeah, the studio guy uses Cubase too, and says he can record 32 bit, but if export is only at 24, well then that settles it.

That's why we just put two more DSP cards in there... woo hoo!
