Audacity recommends 32-bits, sampled at 44.1 kHz.
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sample_format_bit_depth.html
An 8-bit integer volume control has 256 steps before 0dB when your signal clips. A very coarse final resolution.
Standard audio files specify 16-bits for 65k steps; or 24-bits for over 16M steps.
Computers are optimized for 32-bit real numbers, offering over 2B steps! When mixdown-converted to 16-bits, the multitrack noise floor and clipping disappear!
