Somewhat of a newbie – I currently use a SB512 card, Audio Buddy, Shure BG4 condense mic, Roland JV1080 with Cakewalk Home Studio – I mainly do MIDI with 3 or 4 audio guitar tracks (acoustic and light Telecaster) – I understand that by recording in 24 bit it goes back to 16 bit anyway for CD – Question – Do I really need 24 bit (I’ve heard different opinions)? Will the 24 bit card give me noticeably better recordings considering the simple recordings I do now? Or, if 16 bit is fine then will getting the Audiophile 24/96 give me noticeably better 16 bit recordings than my SoundBlaster 512? Surprisingly enough, I get nice sounding projects now with the above setup but want to improve a bit – just a hobby to me. Also, thanks to all for the great info from this forum for I know it takes time to answer some of these simple questions and the forum ahs helped me get a much better acoustic guitar sound on my present system. P.S. I also posted this question on another site - thanks
