recording at 32float/96, does it dither on export to 24bit?

[Gale Andrews]

When you say "Strictly speaking, almost certainly you will be recording at 16-bit or 24-bit upconverted to 32-bit resolution.", I think you are just refering to the fact that the actual bit depth of the stream the website is streaming at would be 16bit or 24bit and not actually 32bit which I'm recording at?, I think this is what you mean?

Correct.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro, and can not find Exclusive Mode boxes in the Advanced tab for stereo mix in Windows Sound, in fact I can not even see an "Advanced" tab.
Do you mean like Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound:Adjust System Volume / Change System Sounds / Manage Audio Devices ?
There doesn't appear to be any advanced tab there, so I presume Windows 7 Pro doesn't have anything like that?

The "Manage Audio Devices" link will open Windows "Sound" (at the "Playback" tab) but it is much more convenient to right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose "Recording Devices".

Each input is a separate "device" in Windows Vista and later, so once on the "Recording" tab you need to right-click over the "stereo mix" device (or whatever you are using for recording web playback), then choose "Properties". Then you will see the "Advanced" tab for that input.
