Thank you, Steve.

what playback device would use that ?

I am trying to digitally emulate Emu SP-1200 sampling capabilities, for drum samples. Letting it clip is not the effect I want, lol.

I don't need it to be 12-bit, all I need is the sound, it would be extremely helpful.

To clarify, I specifically mean 26.040 kHz and 12-bit resolution.

I really love the great quality I am able to get with the highest settings on Audacity, however, I really want to be able to record in 12-bit format for drum samples to make them grittier. Is there anyway to make this happen? It would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.
