Alright cool! I was just making sure that it wouldn't mess up my shiny new toys lol. I've heard something about how the floating point code allows for a lot of headroom in the DAW etc. and right now all of my stuff is done ITB because it's all soft synths. I do keep the levels wayyyyy down. Occasionally I'll get close to or clip a bit, but I guess this is ok with he way the DAWs are programmed?
