here's a liitle riddle with maybe no answer and possibly stupid (courtesy of brian),
under what conditions can two people each record a guitar riff (24 bit data), reduce the word length to 16 bits, and have the riffs be identical?...ponder that!!!
come to uconn for grad school. most of our professors are masters of the universe in their field!
id have to say theres probably not an answer. its debatable wether humans can even distinguish better than 16 bit resolution. i cant even think of a clever answer.
now maybe if you said what conditions could that happen if the sampling rate was less, say cut in half. then the answer would be if the other player could play twice as fast.
Bit-depth translates to dynamics not frequency range (like sampling rate does) basically you just add about 33% to the possible dynamic range when comparing 16 and 24--resulting in a much lower noise floor.
