I understand that with 16-24 bits tracks clipping can occur and it's not good to be near of 0dBs in the DAW but... almost every DAW is working now with inside 32bits files which gives lots of headrooms so, why care? Plugins are working the same, aren't they? Just care about the master out if you are going down to 24 or 16 and that's all. What do you think?

Anyway I'll test it tomorrow with one mix I'm working right now..
