Hi,

Like the title says, I'm trying to convert a sample to 8bits, to create a Lofi sound, and it keeps converting it and showing it as 16bits. The sample rate changes fine if I adjust that.

If I change just the bit rate, it keeps showing as 16bits instead of 8bits and the sample sounds pretty much the same, just with a lot of "hiss" added. I was expecting a more grunge type sound, I suspect that is what the sample rate is for though.

Any ideas what might be going on? Is it normal for the sound to change and still show as 16bit for the MPC to recognise it? Do any of you experience this?

Thanks in advance :-D
