The audio data format that Mixbus uses internally. New audio recordings will be stored in this format, and files will be converted to this format when imported.

• Float (floating point 32 bit) (default value) Allows extra headroom above 0 dBFS for JACK-enabled connections and/or bounces within Mixbus.
• 24 bit: If you plan to record live sources from a A/D converter and do not use internal bouncing-to-disk, then 24 bit will save some disk space.
• 16 bit: If working with audio sourced from a CD, this uses half the storage space of “float” option.

Audio File Format: File Type

The file type that Mixbus uses internally. New audio recordings will be stored in this format, and files will be converted to this format when imported.

• Broadcast Wave: Industry standard .wav files with an additional time-stamp that may be used in some software. File size is limited to 4GB.
• Wave: Industry standard PCM file. File size is limited to 4GB.
• Wav64: Industry standard PCM file. Uses 64 bit length value in the header allowing nearly limitless recording length at any sample rate.
• CAF: Same as Wav64, but this format is only common on OS X.
• FLAC: Open source lossless codec. FLAC’s algorithm can typically be reduced to between 50 and 70 percent of its original size while still retaining full lossless quality.
