Medway Wrote:VSTs will be operating most usually in 32bit float so bouncing to 24 actually very slightly reduces the dynamic range they have. It could have been something minor or even psychological to make it sound better. If you a/b against the live version with one of the tracks inverted you should find they cancel out completely.

If you run out of processing overhead then bounce a few plugin intensive tracks, but keep the drums live to the end.
Medway Wrote:I assume Reaper is freezing at 32bit float in which case the rendered file would be exactly like the 'live' file. I wouldn't worry about quality but more so editability verses cpu usage. With current DAWs you'd really have to mess up the sound on purpose to lose 'quality'. For instance I can take a 32bit file, reduce it by 100db, bounce it, then add 100db of gain back to it and it will still cancel out to the original down to -138db. This is way beyond what anyone would do in a normal situation, hence no need to worry.

Yes don't worry about freeze vs live, it should always be the same. Only difference is some effects are more random so maybe when you freeze it it does a version you don't like so just refreeze. But this is minor.
