When I use "bounce in-place" or bouncing to a new audio track (and not saving a file), what bit depth is Reason saving the new clip as?

I've read claims that all Reason audio is 32-bit internally, and if you bounce audio as a file, you get a 16-bit (default) or 24-bit option.

Am I correct in assuming that the bounce in-place creates 32 bit audio clips?

No, it creates 24 bit files max. But thats not a problem, the only thing that bit depth defines is the signal to noise ratio and thats still more than 120dB for 24bit files.

I see the 24 bit option when I bounce to a file but when you bounce in-place it doesn't let you choose. So I was curious what bit depth Reason chooses.
