> Extra bits won't hurt anyway.
Nobody said it would hurt so I’m not sure why you’re pointing out the consensus like it’s some sort of profound statement.
> If your recording is not loud, you lose your dynamic range
If your sound engineer is wasting your dynamic range, maybe get a better sound engineer? And if they manage to fuck up something at the core of their job, there’s no reason they wouldn’t fuck up just as much with 24 bits to waste.
> So it is true in both senses.
In no meaning of “true” and “both” in common use.
