Benefit of recording 32-bit audio?

IIRC an old Cubase manual, 32 bit recording was enabled to allow for Broadcast Wave format. But otherwise makes no difference to the sound of the file.

In fact, it’s a common myth that 24 bit “sounds better” than 16 bit. 24 bit simply allows for more headroom so engineers can record incoming signals at lower levels and still have a nice signal-to-noise ratio. Previously, with older 16-bit methods, you’d have to ride the signal pretty high and risk “digital clipping.” I point this out, as this prevailing myth is likely what lead the OP to ask his question in the first place.

Cheers.
