32-bit float WAV file overview
32-bit float WAV files have the following advantages over conventional 16/24-bit WAV files.
These advantages allow the recording audio quality to be preserved even when editing in a DAW or other
software after recording.
Resolution advantage
32-bit float WAV files have the advantage of being able to maintain high resolution even at low volumes. As
a result, quiet sounds can be made louder when editing after recording without degrading their quality.

Clipping advantage
If a waveform sounds clipped when output from the H5studio or in a DAW, it can be edited after recording
to lower its volume and restore an unclipped waveform because the data in the 32-bit float WAV file itself is
not clipped.
