Would you be able to recommend any good books for self-studying music theory?

of limp bizkit? nothing in particular. My sister used to watch tons of inuyasha amv's that used their music and well, you get the idea.
Do enjoy sid-metal though.

And that's pretty much it.
I didn't include the ones with the original background.
I was going to edit them so it's just Shizune but I stopped posting her so yeah.

Hey, do you want the pictures in my Shizune folder since I don't really use her as a mascot anymore?

Sorry for the late late reply reply.
It concerns audio bit depth.
Since you do a lot of work with digital audio, I figure you'd be a good person to ask, so here goes.
If the bit-depth is the "resolution" of a song, then the higher the bit-depth will result in better quality.
Eg. the difference between 8-bit chiptunes from old video games versus 24-bit audio you can find on some modern CDs.
So naturally, scaling down a 24-bit song to 8-bits would cause a loss in quality, right?
What if, for instance, you had say a 32-bit song at 48KHz and you broke it down into four separate 8-bit parts such that each 8-bit file handled a quarter of that 48KHz sample rate. (like one 8-bit file could handle the lower bass, one for the upper bass, one for the lower treble and one for the upper treble)
If you streamed these four 8-bit parts simultaneously, would you get the same level of quality as a single 32-bit file?

Damn nigga. No idea why you'd need 32-bit audio, but maybeh.
If you recorded those things you mentioned (upper and lower bass and treble) seperately, and put them as 4 seperate tracks, maybe. I guess it's kinda like how studio recordings of songs have the vocals seperate from the instruments (probably not just so that people can remix them or do karaoke). But I dunno how 8-bit would sound then.
But hell, even 16-bit and 24-bit sound good, even 16-bit and 44,1Khz is good, as long as file is high quality in terms of bitrate.

Most onboard audio chipsets or even high-end soundcards only render audio out to 16 bits, the user wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 16 or 24-bit audio. Even if the drivers or software you're using can push a 64-bit depth, you'll always be downscaled to what your hardware can handle.
16-bits at 44.1KHz sounds good yes, but 24bits at the same frequency does sound somewhat better (being the proud owner of a 24-bit, 192KHz soundcard).
I'm looking to design an external 32-bit usb dac. Unfortunately, there are very few 32-bit microcontrollers on the market. The ones available are both expensive and not specialized for hi-fi audio equipment.
I'm wondering if I could work around this by getting four 8-bit controllers, (which are common and cheap with plenty designed/optimized for audio), and use them to build a virtual 32-bit controller. . .
That is, assuming splitting a high bit-depth audio file into multiple low bit-depth would yield the same fidelity.

Interedasting... maybe it could work, but wouldn't 24 bit be enough already?
I see the term 24-96 (24-bit, 96Khz) a lot for "audiofile quality" sound.
I found out my sound card only does 16-48, but it's quite a bit better than the onboard one in my laptop. Most of the reason I have it is for the SPDIF output so I can get surround with my Tritton AX 720 on PC. Still, I've tried listening to music on a friend's PC that has a 24-bit soundcard, and I can't really tell any difference between 16 and 24. I dunno.
Oh well, 16-48 is fine for me. Most of the quality difference in files is the bitrate, but lossless files sound ever better with this setup now.

maybe, maybe not.
I'm beginning to suspect the audio industry is a lot like the IT industry where you can build your own computer of equal performance to a pre-assembled one at a fraction of the cost, or build an absolutely superior computer for the same cost of a "high-end" pre-assembled computer.
Would a home-built dac be flawless? Probably not. Would it have 24/7 customer support nope. But there's the possibility it could be just as good if not better than anything on the market.
You also get bragging rights to say that you've built and use your own uniquely designed equipment.
I have all the resources I need to design and build a nice dac. All that's needed is time and research; starting with the question of what happens when you split an audio file by bit-depth into separate pieces corresponding to a frequency range.
