T-Racks changing bit depth?

[jimmyjames75]

Ok, this will make me sound like a loon. But i have a feeling T-Racks is lowering the bit depth of my tracks. Is this possible? And if so, how do I stop this? I dont ever have this problem

Yea, I did some test. When I turn on a T-racks plugin, my bit depth drops. How do I fix this?

Hi jimmyjames75

How are you seeing this behaviour?
Is it in the standalone or when using modules as a plugin with a DAW and, if so, which DAW?
How do you know that the bit depth is changing?
Is it just with specific modules or do all modules have the same problem?

I'm guessing you're seeing a change from 24bit down to 16bit, correct?

If you haven't noticed this before, have you changed anything system-wide that might promote the behaviour?

I am using a tool called "Bitter". It is designed to read bit depth. I put it on the master buss. Then I put plugs in front of it so i can see the bit depth. I see it changing from 24 to 16. I had some windows 10 updates forced on me. That was a couple weeks ago. I couldnt roll back windows, so I just embraced it and have installed all the updates since then.

i will do some more test soon and let you know what I find. i will also add the T-Racks Suite as a plugin, and see what happens as well. But so far I have only tried the modules

I've just checked here and the outputs from various TR5 plug-ins, recorded onto another track) are at 24 bits. Can you double-check that your host and audio interface is set correctly.

Yes, I will check in a few hours. Also, I am talking about inside the DAW, not after rendering it out.
