hi, quite simply told the commandments here are, erm. the recommendations are as follows:

1. on jack/qjackctl, always set sample format implicit to the hardware default; do not touch the 16-bit unless you (really) know what you're doing (and the hardware shortcomings too);

2. on qtractor, always set your recordings to a 32-bit floating-point (aka. float) sample format--you won't ever regret that choice!--most of all, it will keep all your audio-pcm recordings safe and free from unrecoverable damage due to clipping and severe distortion when going 0dbfs peak overboard or even less; only then and after that decision you may say you can "fix it in the mix", trust me ;)

hth.
cheers
