32 bit option on web gui

[rcrath]

Hi, I like to have that extra few hundred decibels of headroom sometimes so the six decibels of 24 bit don't get it for me! Actually I like record to 32 bit and process everything at the higher bit rate to reduce artifacts from mixing and such I have hundreds of 32 bit recordings and would like to keep my masters at 32 bit as well, and only render them to 24 bit or 16 bit with dithering as necessary. Would it be possible to add a 32 bit switch to the lovely 16 and 24 bit download options? I could not tell if 32 bit is supported by the command line flag (-b?)?

THank you for the great program!

Hello! Thank you for your feature request.
Matchering WEB has only 16/24 bit support, because a lot of similar proprietary online mastering services only offer 16/24. I just didn't want to complicate things for the average user. 🙂
I can't say if I'll introduce this feature in the future.

So for now, the 32-bit WAV can be done using the console matchering-cli.

Example:
python3 mg_cli.py target.wav reference.wav result_32bit.wav -b32 --no_limiter --dont_normalize

ok, thanks for considering. will open a separate enhancement query for dithers then

maybe there could be a general purpose flag adder under an advanced settings fold out? Could even be an Easter egg that you don't know is there unless you read the manual/github page/readme, in order to keep the interface simple.

I like your idea about Easter egg. Thank you. 😊
I'll leave this open, maybe we'll implement this in a future update.
