Noise floor
by: Bjorgvin

Thank you. That post is very educational, and a great addition to the answer. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah, I guess the question is noise floor rather than headroom. I wanted to point out that when processing not-so-optimal audio you can do all your processing in 24 bit for the best results.

Just like a mastering engineer that gets 16 bit 44.1K audio to master, he renders them to 24 bit before doing any processing so his work has more bit depth to work.

Thanks for the comment.
