If you are going to take that position then you would not be digitizing
from anything less than the original master recording. So as I said
before: is this being done for a personal music collection or for the
Smithsonian?
I thought I was discussing playback of material all ready in the
digital domain and the limitations of the common digital media,
also ways to minimize some of thir limitations. When I record,
which I haven't in years, it's live performances. My tape IS
the original "master."
If I'm converting an analog medium to digital, e. g. cassette or LP,
I have a TASCAM deck that burns a Red Book compliant CD
of either medium. Sometimes it even gets the tracks right :-). I
then rip the resultant CD to hard drive in .WAV format. Sometimes
I'll just repalce to original analog recording with a CD, but I have a
large record collection and that can get expensive fast.
Most of us have ears that are somewhat damaged and they will only be
getting worse as time goes by. So for a personal music collection it
would be silly to use any technology that is better than what one can
hear.
I never spent a lot of time at rock concerts in my younger days, actually
I'm not very fond of much rock, anyway. I'm also an occasional
shooter (firearms not films), and hearing protection is a huge issue in
that community. I have several hearing protection devices, the best of
which is actively compensated in such a way that you can hear a normal
conversation but not the impulse noise of a gunshot. That would work
well at a rock concert, because the degree of attenuation is adjustable.
