32-bit float audio sounds like a dream come true for vloggers and filmmakers, especially solo shooters, who already have enough to do without having to continuously monitor sound levels too. It means, in principle, that you don’t have to set the audio level at all and you can record sounds of any volume without clipping. How is that even possible?
It’s because the standard 24-bit audio recording format used by almost all cameras has a limited dynamic range, in audio terms. If you don’t set your audio levels correctly when you film, you may find unexpectedly quiet sounds don’t come out at all or unexpectedly loud sounds are clipped and distorted.
