Howdy, I use Guitartrack Pro by Cakewalk and have Audiophile 24/96 sound card. I just recently recorded and finished a project in 24 bit audio. The Problem is I cant find any product that can covert this song from wave form to MP3 because its 24 bit. When I change audio format to 16 bit the guitars become distorted and crackley. Any help would be appreciated. Thats Dave M...AkA. Prisoner One

Is there an "Export" in Cakewalk, to where you record at 24 bit, but export and have it "dither down" to 16? If that doesn't work, try Audacity, a "freeware" audio editor.It has an export on it and does a decent job of the dithering. It also does mp3 directly, if you've got Lame on your computer. Also, do a search on here concerning "dithering". Several in-depth discussions. Very enlightening.
