The first time this problem was discussed on the list, it was a
completely different sound that caused it. I can't remember who
discovered it but I can remember the sound - it was a bassy percussive
type sound that sounded very synthesized, and I just thought that the
synthetic nature of the sound was what caused it, ie. a strange waveform
that the psychoacoustic model couldn't handle somehow.
When the French Horn recording problem was then discovered, it
eliminated that possibility because it was directly from a microphone.
I'd also like to add that I didn't discover the problem, but followed it
up with a second test when the original French Horn player (who's name I
also don't remember) discovered it. I was able to reproduce the noise
using my cousin's 722, using a digital link from a SB Live. I guess
there's a possibility that not all units are affected - there may have
been a bad batch of ATRAC chips that found their way into production.
Intel seem to be able to do it all the time, why not Sharp?
