How 32-bit Float Works

The solution to clipped and distorted audio is a larger dynamic range, and 32-bit float offers that in spades. It contains over 4 billion amplitude values, resulting in a dynamic range louder than anything found on earth. In other words, everything from whispers to explosions (and virtually anything that you’d encounter on set) falls well within its dynamic range.

With 32-bit float, you’ll never need to set gain or adjust levels on-the-fly, allowing you to record easier and faster than ever before. Whether you’re working in the studio, on a film lot, or if you’re out in the field, you can just set up your mics and hit “record.” 32-bit float audio files do take up about 33% more storage than 24-bit files––but that’s a small trade-off for a world of difference.
