Edit: Great video man! Back to the original comment: 32 bit float. It's great for any high action and high dynamic sound mixer jobs where you need to be recording but also boom operating at the same time. You can record hands off from the input gain and then convert the 32-bit floats into 24 bit before you deliver the sound because if not the film editor people will be nagging cause they don't know how to convert a 32 bit float to a 24 bit. I wish I had a 32-bit float recorder that way I could use it in these types of situations.

When I initially heard about 32-bit float, the more I heard about it, the more I wanted an interface capable of it. But slowly I began to realize that I probably didn't need it. You did a great job of articulating how it works, and how, yes, I really don't need it for my little home recordings. I'm not recording gunshots or anything like that. And honestly, if I'm capturing gunshots on a recording then I have much more serious problems than bit depth or noise floor.

With most all audio interfaces I can hear the transients are not being recorded clearly, even at 24 bit 96khz. But when I use my RME Fireface II I can hear that it does a lot better job with the transients of my voice. Now, no one I have ever talked to can hear bad reproduction of transients other than myself. But I hear the bad transient reproduction with all of the major audio interface brands I have tried, other than RME. The transients are not peaking and distorting, it is like the interfaces simply cannot focus on the beginning of sounds and reproduce them right. Why am I the only one that can hear this? It is like a variable recording rate is needed, like as in film with large explosions and fast motion to throw more bits at the beginning of words. Would 32bit floating point throw more bits at the beginning of sounds and make them more focused and clear? All I ever hear about 32 bit is that it can record louder sounds, does it not also record finer steps, more densely packed bits, and would this not improve sound quality as well?

@SoundSpeeds

As I said in the video, wider range of volume is all that it does. It doesn't increase the quality at all. The RME interface may to something to the sound that no other interface does. If I were you, I'd buy another one or two to have in case that one breaks.

@@SoundSpeeds absolutely, shit in, shit out. when I'm working location sound gigs with my F6 I prefer to use 32bitfloat precisely because it allows me to focus on everything other than getting good levels, which isn't ideal, but it works well if you're the only sound professional on set. It would be ideal in every production to have the mighty 3 man sound team, but since most of the stuff I do is indy productions with tight budgets, I feel the need to focus on boom and lav placement above all else. in that regard, I feel like since I can't always get fantastic levels in the recorder I would rather trust a dual ADC system with 32bitfloat than with a (probably terrible sounding) digital limiter that's getting slammed because I can't get to adjusting it while I'm booming. good sound always starts at the source, the boom and the lavs :)

So I’ve worked on A/D and D/A converters through several generations and architectures and his terminology is correct but he barely scratches the surface. The only things I disagree with is the not a stair step. It is a stair step sample to sample by definition. It’s why anti-aliasing filters are needed during the D/A conversion to prevent out of band energy from folding back into the passband as distortion. The other is the interchange of 6dB voltage with the equivalent 3dB power. It’s confusing when the two are not clearly delineated.

That's a doozie of a question. Much of this video was figuring out the best way to explain simple concepts that can be pulled together to set up floating point. As a concept, it's mathematical but relating it to sound was the tough part. I searched and researched for months for data pertaining to 32fp and put all info into one document. Then I cross referenced info and verified it. One thing that really have me a grasp of it was finding a website that you can enter a number into and it'll tell you what it is in 32fp. Playing with numbers and studying what it's doing within certain ranges have me a great feel for it and that was what lead me into the discussion about aliasing. A lot of sound references, both online and book form, were referenced and the info simplified. Yes, simplified! That took so much time because I could preset info and lose people in the first 2 minutes but why? I also felt it was important to omit the crazy technical parts because I realized it would be 20-25 minutes long and felt that was enough and people would click off. Still the video was 30. So... To answer your question - there were a lot of sources I pulled from.

Great education, thank you! Raises a question about the Zoom F series. The F6 lets you adjust gain to set levels in 32-bit mode. It also offers 24-bit recording. F3 is 32 bit only, and documentation suggests there is no support for setting levels. You only control monitoring output or fade or something? So the gain is fixed? With 32 bit, you don't need to set levels, woo! 😝 You dispelled that notion. Without proper levels, you don't get 24-bit quality in the standard DB range. That's my takeaway. F3 is a nicely portable unit, but 32 bit only, and if you can't adjust gain to set levels ... Hope I haven't misunderstood the zoom F series specs. Would you happen to know? Thanks so much.

Imagine making it. That video took a long time to make

32-bit is mainly useful in the box because it can contain any level with the same accuracy without clipping. If you applied an envelope, the noise floor would "float" with it could be inveted with minimal loss. 64-bit is used in plugins such as equalizer or reverb for adding extremely small numbers to a bigger number many times and not losing them and causing filters to become unstable. It only exists in Reaper because it can and to satisfy users who peek at the signal with an analyzer. When mixing multiple chanels of sound, they are all approximately in the same range, and 32-bit is plenty. Now we have even more crazy bits in Kirchhoff EQ, where you can't even see a noise floor. I doubt that a box like Zoom can exceed 140 db of dynamic range. Must be some space technology.

The interface can be 24 bit but you can record 32 bit and gain nothing. The DAC in the 24 bit interface gives no benefit to recording in 32 FP. Think of it like this... You can connect a 1080P camera to a 4K recorder and record in 4K but you gain nothing over recording in 1080P. 16, 24, 32... all of that corresponds to the recorder and how it saves the 0s and 1s.

A very reasonable question to ask, While 32 bit int. would make a path for future increase of resolution the 32bit float locks the resolution on 24 or 23bit + sign as it in reallity is. Using 32bit two's compliment numbers would had made it very easy to, with relative simple circuitry, to add bits to cope with the peaks - and maybe even with increased resolution. The present 32bit float follow some standards representation of float numbers but unfortunately also blocks any attempts to improve the quality of recording with out rewriting the present "standard" 32bit float for audio. Had a 32bit float format been thought out carefully it would not had been sign, 7 bit exp., and 24 mantisa - it would had been a signed 3 to 5 bit exp. (4 to 6 bits used) and a 28 to 26 bits mantisa. Remember that the exp. is a number telling you how many places you need to move the decimal point - 3 bit plus sign would be +/- 7 times !!, or like multiplying or dividing the 28 bit value in the mantisa by one million, or +/-60dB ....... 120dB increased dynamic range. Add that to the 20dB the extra 4 bit (24 to 28 bit resolution) would give and you have 280dB of real world dynamic range with 150dB real world resolution !!!!!!!!

You are very correct

If setting a record level is just too hard to do, consider another line of work.

Agreed

I am probably a slowthinking dummdumm, but you may want to consider slowing down a bit at fancy moments like 8:18. I replayed it thrice and still didn't quite get it >.

@@SoundSpeeds Hahahahahaha. I’ve been recording and mixing for almost 18 years. My first interface was a Mobile Pre and I used an bootleg version of acid pro 4.0. I thought I had idea about this stuff, but this blew my mind. Glad you didn’t take offense.

No worries. I do the same thing.

your computer would care if the sound was at 1000dbl. Your computer would have some errors as it would be inside a black hole.

So, basic interviews and controlled sets 24 bit...run and gun on the streets 32 bit FP. I think.

I'd go 24 bit in both of those circumstances. It has to be insanely loud to warrant 32 bit floating point to me. If you set your levels correctly for the voices you're recording, you're getting what you care about. If traffic is too loud and drowns out the voice, you gotta hold for sound and go again anyway...

@@SoundSpeeds One other question. One of the reasons I just purchased the MixPre II was because as a single operator I was told it was possible to use the 32 bit FP and it would allow me to "bring out" any sound that I may have recorded incorrectly. That I did not have to always "ride the gains". Would you agree with this?

@SoundSpeeds

Depends. If you make any kind of effort to set gain, you should be fine but if you know nothing and don't want to learn how, you're trading off effort for convenience with larger file sizes. It really doesn't take much effort at all to set a level especially since there's already a lot of headroom built into peak level and as long as you use a limiter, you're going to be fine.

@@SoundSpeeds Oh, I am definitely learning :p I also agree with you, however I like backups for backups and I saw the 32 bit as one form of backup. I will certainly experiment both ways. While I do not see the larger file size as a downside, it doesn't seem like larger file sizes are the only downside however. Thanks for the video, I learned a lot.
