Hi Guy's what is the best setting to save eg different loops I've made or Leads, basslines etc to wav audio files. I'm on FL Studio.
I have been saving a couple as wav, 32 bit float, bitrate at 320kbit and with dithering. Is this a good setting if I would like to share some samples to others?
thx
-Cheers, Chimpy |

I had some fun with some Lead creation today. Played with an pattern I liked and did 9 small variations of it with Albino presets from Cosmosis and a Vanguard preset I tweaked untill I got a desent sound 
If someone want to download them I saved them as wav.

I'd suggest to keep your audio files in the best possible quality. that's 32bit floating point. I'd also recommend to leave delays and reverbs out of the picture. you can add them later. in that condition it's easy to cut notes out or fill new ones in. every other effect that won't introduce tails is welcome in my workflow...
don't use dither for bouncing down your elements, it's only needed as the last step after master bus compression and limiting so it converts nicely down to 16 bit. it's the last step before you save your track to cd.

Hello Chimp!
i think 320kbit sounds more like a mp3, maybe you are missled by the menu for mp3 export...
if you choose to export wav you will get much higher kbps 16bit 44.1khz is 1411kbps and 24bit 44.1khz is at 2116kbps
about 32bit float
"32 bit float is a storage and processing format, it exists only on disk and in the software. Any soundcard input, even 4 bit, can be captured as 32 or 64 bit float. Each sample is just put into a larger container, it is not changed in any way. However, if you process it, such as noise reduction, equalization, normalization, the calculations will run to more digits than the original recording. A float format preserves the precision. At the end you convert to 16 bit integer, applying dither to preserve the low level detail."

Great!
Nice to learn from you. I'm trying to save all my stuff as midi, scores and audio so I always have backup. And for the future if someone wants samples.
Great info btw. Thx Guy's
