Re: audio sampling rate question

I agree. I now have a 24 bit WAV file and a C program I wrote to reduce
it to 16 bit with the appropriate shift.

On average how much compression ratio have you achieved?

The advantage is that you don't have to guess as accurately
what the record level will be.

I don't know about the OP, I was recently using a Roland R1
recorder. It has the choice of 16 or 24 bit WAV, and some
choices of MP3. With 24 bits, I then wrote a C program to
find the minimum and maximum sample values, along with a some
other statistical values. I then did the conversion to 16 bits
by rounding and shifting the appropriate number of bits.
