16 bit to 24 bit question

[savagcl]

Using latest music converter (13.1) to convert a 16 bit wave into
24 bit wave file.

Using previous versions converter program, waves were
averaging 200,000 kb in size.
Using the latest converter, output file size is much smaller
(5047kb) for same playing time (approx 3 minutes).

Are these settings correct for a 24 bit wave:
channels = auto
CBR = constant 192
Encoding = normal

DSP's used:
Bit Depth = 24bit
Replay Gain = Calculate track gain
Volume Normalize = Adaptive, Window= 6000ms
Channel Count = 2 'stereo' (CD)
Maximum Amplification = 8, 0 db

Thanks,

Sounds like you made a compressed-WAV file if you have a bitrate, unless you mean the frequency.

LtData,

Sorry bout the delay in responding, been out of town.

You're right, compressed vs Wave - MP3 being checked makes
the size difference. Hard to tell which of these gives the best
quality.

Also in the DSP effects, Volume Normalize, what does the
'window' 6000 ms do?

That's the timeframe the adaptive normalize uses to determine the correct normalization amount.

So, a longer time frame will produce a better(?) normalization, right?

thanks for the info,
