If you run the 'file' command on each of the FLAC files you'll probably
see that the one exported from ardour is 24 bit and the one made with
SoundConverter is 16 bit.
Thank you, that's the case. I asked Ardour to export to a 16-bit FLAC
and the task was performed even more efficient than through
SoundConverter: resulting file is 262 MB.
I assume that for CD quality I won't need 24-bit? As a hobby musician
and radio DJ, will I ever?
If you export to 24 bit wav or perhaps even float wav
from Ardour and
then run the 'flac --best' command on it yourself how big is the
resulting file then?
Being satisfied for now to export to 16-bit, I will not bother with this
test.
Thank you very much for your helpful answer!
