You've had plenty comments, just supplementing with the fact that the 16
vs.
24 bits are counted downwards from 0 dB FS, and that the difference
between
24 bit and 32 bit audio is that 32 bit audio has 8 more bits "on top". The
advantages of computing in this format are that cpu's do things in 32 bit
lumps anyway and that the headroom vastly reduces the risk of clipping
during processing and mixing.
Kind regards
