Interesting thread. Mostly what I’m hearing is that 32 bit float is just fine if your sound person is skilled at his craft -things like mic placement, boom handling, eliminating motor noise, etc, AND the post workflow has been tested and verified. Right now the latter is bleeding edge so invites issues. But hopefully NLEs and DAWs will catch up soon.
As an indie editor, one thing I sometimes run into is a novice field mixer riding gains inexpertly, resulting in awkward level changes in the middle of words and requiring me to “undo” in the rough mix their frequent gain changes. This makes me hope I’ll start seeing 32 bit float so that’s one issue I’ll no longer have to deal with.
Cheers!
