Point-in-case - read the manual or visit the website - do the homework. Or ask Lagerfeldt, as he's an awesome Logic reference.
Thanks mate,

Nope this is not a preference in Logic.

Also, I don't think it's officially documented in any Logic manual or reference online what happens when Logic bounces to 24 bits.

AFAIK any audio processed destructively in the sample editor is truncated - not dithered. What happens at the mix bus when going from 32 bit float til 24 bit in terms of automatic dither is an unknown factor to me at the moment.

I'll report back if I find out any time soon.
