Yes, this rings truer to me too. I don't know where I read (or heard) that is "recommended" to convert first from 24 to 16 bit (44.1?)
. I never spent anytime trying to prove or disprove that. So, thank you, I will take face value what you are saying. --- thumbsup

As for mastering from mp3's - one thing to keep in mind is that the output of the decoder can clip if the destination is an integer PCM word.

Agree. Also, a mp3 resulting file for sure will be clipping even if you've set your max peak at -.10 dBFS.
