Hi,
I've just started recording at 24 bit resolution and I need an editor (Windows) that can handle this - does anybody know of one, preferably freeware ?

Audacity can handle 24 & 32 bit files, is available on Windows/OSX/OS9/Linux. And it ain't half bad if you don't require the extras that the big boys provide.

Audiomulch, freeware. Hot tip from those that know.
Not sure about the 24 bit, but expect it does.

I'd highly recommend Goldwave, it's the only free editor apart from Audacity, but has more facilities. It writes the best mp3 of any audio editor that I've used, including Wavelab & Soundforge! It only gives you the nag screen at startup, and is only around 25 uk pounds to buy, so you can't really lose.

I just downloaded Audacity for Mac. Pretty good but only exports in 16 Bit. Does Spark LE do 24 Bit?

Which version of Audacity did you download? I have the latest beta (v1.2.0pre3) for Windows XP, and it most definitely can export as AIFF in all flavours (8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit). So I assume the OSX version can too.
You have to change the Uncompressed Export Format setting (Preferences dialog box, File Formats tab). It's a drop-down menu, and you need to select Other, then specify the Header type (AIFF, WAV, RAW, etc.), and the Encoding (Signed 24-bit PCM, or Signed 32-bit PCM are what you want, I assume).
Hope this helps,

Kerrydan - Thanks very much. I didn't see the "other" option.
