RECORDING
BIT LENGTH This selects the audio bit length for new recordings.
• 16-bit: This is the compact Disc standard.
• 20-bit: This option allows 20-bit audio to be recorded, giving greater
resolution and headroom.
• 24-bit: This option allows 24-bit audio to be recorded, giving even
greater resolution and headroom.
• 20-bit (packed): This is a special option that is only available when
recording AKAI format audio files. Typically, 20-bit audio occupies
the same space on disk as 24-bit audio (the extra 4-bits of storage
space in each sample being wasted). The 20-bit ‘packed’ mode avoids
this waste of space by writing the audio to disk in a special pattern.

Note that this mode does
not
involve any ‘audio compression’. It just
places the data on disk in an optimal manner to maximise disk storage
space and bandwidth.
