Sorry, man, you've lost me. You keep saying there is one bit fewer than there is, no matter how you state it. There are 24 bits. 23 happen to be stored, but there are 24 bits plus sign.As I said above, later in the same post:It almost sounds like you're saying there are only 22 actual bits available plus the implied bit. Or I'm not reading you right. In any case, I think everyone here knows what's going on—24 bits of precision are available, in addition to the scaling as values get smaller.So your basically playing with 23 bits for the 0 to 1 range......Point is, the 23bit of float mantissa is not really the limiting factor when you think of it. Except for DAW originating automation.
It's not important. It's just that you dismissed my first comment as if I had made a mistake in understanding. So I was just clarifying why I made the comment. And maybe I have misunderstood your comments in some way, but you still haven't cleared them up, you seem to be saying the same thing.
Just to be clear for the casual reader, here's float32 with 23 bits; not shown is the implied 24th bit, which doesn't need to be stored due to the automatic normalization:
