Audacity Forum

So I am collecting data on how to strive for the Highest Quality possible in Audacity. So far, I have: setting it to 32-bit. I did a practice save, saving it to 32 bit Float, and when I looked at Properties, it wont tell me anything. Why is that? I am running Windows XP. Do I need to check my compu...

Oh, okay, I see. Options in the desktop . But what is the difference between 32-bit Float and 32-bit PCM???
.

But where do I find Options?

Should I bother using Dither for Highest Quality 32 bit musical recordings? I dont want it to dull frequencies. Is it more of a function when using microphones/white noise?

I tried as an experiment, Exporting something as 32 bit to my Desktop, but when I looked at the Properties, I didnt see 32 bit, I did see 16-bit though. How can I save something as 32 bit and be sure? I saved it as "Other Uncompressed Files," but did not see any Options box I was told of also---????
