That's when you would get that extra layer of dither. See, what you want to do is avoid converting 16-bit audio to 32-bit and back down again if there's no need.

But if you just need to take out a few clicks and pops from audio that's already 16-bit - and assuming you can do it without producing an audible 'blip' - then 16-bit mode will work just fine.Įdited for clarification: I should have mentioned that you can also interpolate individual clicks (like with the 'Fill Single Click Now' feature in Adobe Audition) in 16-bit mode without doing any harm. Of course, if you need to run some other transforms then you need to use 32-bits. This is one of the few times that editing in 16-bit mode will not produce any artifacts.

You can do this because everything before and after those edit points (except for possibly a few milliseconds of smoothing) will match up perfectly with the original unedited 16-bit audio.
