Allow you to save a file at 12 or even 8-bit? I got a little plan but I want to see if this is possible first. Anyone know if there is or if it is even possible at all?

Sound Forge lets you go down to 8-bit, but only works in increments of 8.

Yep, it's possible. Most editors support 8 bit as part of the standard WAV format and I think Awave can handle 12 bit, not 100% sure though.

Any small editor for free possibly?

I'm gonna d/l it and give it a try. I know there are a few around here who have mentioned it a number of times.

You're describing an effect called "bitcrushing"...

I know, but I was going to try and experiment with something. A bit crusher was involved too though.

Sound engine free is another editor worth looking into.
You can output to 8bit,and change te sampling rate.
Sound engine like Audacity has a nice selection of built in effects.

Tell me. Why do you want to do this? I know of a bitcrushing plug in Dr008 that just destroys sound quality and I never could see the point of using. What benefit can be gained by decreasing bit depth?

emulating vintage sampler sound?

4-bit though!?!? that's extreme. used for musical greeting cards maybe?

Not familiar with those but still don't see why degrading audio quality is desirable.

Is there an audio editor that will...
