How hot is too hot?

Bits are not just bits. You want to record at 24 bits. I'm not going to go into the reason why because there is an already excellent explanation for it. Use the search, and record at 24 bits.

I understand about why 24 bits is better than 16 bits, I'm talking about the stereo buss.

If wer're still talking about combining signals and overload, I was making the generalization that assuming equal signal strengths at a given reference level, between two systems, one at a lower and another at a higher bit and sample rate, the combined signal would be the same. (if -6db FS equaled x voltage, it wouldn't matter how many bits extended below.)

Mixsit, I believe we are talking about the same thing, you made it sound better
