16 bit is fine for ∗recording∗ samples. Post production ∗Processing∗
a 16 bit sample is problematic. There is generation loss with 16 bit
DSP. The sound suffers with each DSP operation. (expanding word
length).

Some of the sample libraries available have nasty IM distortion and
sound like shit.

If you want to dick-around with DSP, do it at 24 bit or higher and be
careful.
