What is the 64-bit double precision checkbox in Options - Audio - General Tab?

The information in this article applies to:

• SONAR 7
• SONAR 6
• SONAR 5

64-bit double precision mixing provides greater resolution, meaning more accurate audio reproduction and more headroom. You'll especially notice the benefits of the 64-bit double precision capability when working in large projects containing many audio tracks and plug-ins. You're chances of clipping will be significantly reduced.

The 64-bit signal path includes plug-ins and busses too. SONAR 6 sends and receives 64-bit data to and from all plug-ins that accept 64-bit data. If a plug-in requires 32-bit data, SONAR 6 automatically handles the conversion.
