Convert 32-bit audio to 24-bit

[Ian Alexander]

I did a forum search, but didn't find anything. Search terms are too short, I suppose.

I got a 32-bit audio file from a video client for noise reduction, etc. SS won't open it and the only program I have that will open it can convert it only to 16 bit. I understand that 16-bit is plenty good for a poorly recorded audio for video track.

What are you using to convert from 32-bit to 24-bit?

Thanks,

Audacity - it's FREE....it will read RAW-PCM, as well as many other formats. According to SAW documentation, SAW will read 32bit floating point files, which are still 24bit with an extra 8bits tagged on for an extra 2db of headroom. I suspect your 32bit file may be a non standard format...
