Yes but high quality sound chip's record audio at 24bit this days.
So? I was merely pointing out that the 8bit sample limitation was gone a long time ago, and so was the 4/8 channel limitation. It sounded like you have not touched the program since 1993 or so. OctaMED is today "MED Soundstudio" for Windows.
well your taking about channels, I'm talking about mixing channels, we are not talking about the same thing.
No, I was just mentioning it, as something else that happened 20 years ago.
Just to get on the same page, look at this youtube videos.

I just woke up, so I'm quite sleepy, but the first guy seems to be talking something else than bit rate. Anyways, all this audiophile stuff is totally irrelevant for a tracker where samples are constantly mixed and distorted in all kinds of ways. It is the sound of the end output that matters, not the sound quality of samples. Personally I prefer to "ruin" all "quality" through analogue equalizers and effect systems long before the signal reaches the speakers.
