Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 - how to set bit resolution?
I finally replaced my buggy M-audio Firewire interface with a Focusrite USB Scarlett 2i4. The ASIO driver that comes with the interface lets you set the sample rate, but not the resolution. I want to record with 24 bits of resolution. The display in the upper right corner of Reaper says 96kHz 16 bit WAV. The interface is capable of 24 bits of resolution - how do I set the resolution?
Note:
Focusrite has this note on their site, which seems to indicate that WINDOWS may say the resolution is 16-bit, but don't worry, set it in your DAW, BUT I can't figure out how to use Reaper to set the resolution...
"The audio stream captured from our USB 2.0 hardware is always 24-bit samples. These samples are not altered or processed in any way by the driver when recording via the ASIO driver. Windows audio control panel may say the device is in 16 bit mode, but the ASIO driver bypasses the Windows audio system, and is therefore not affected by this setting.
"Therefore, using 24 bit depth in your recording software, while using the ASIO driver, is still 24 bit when recording/creating, where 24 bit actually matters."
