I guess somewhere along the way, I never mentioned that the compression
system was being researched for professional digital recorders.  CD's
have, as pointed out by many, more than enough dynamic range for home use.
However, transfering the master to the CD deals with signal levels that
are known and can be previewed.  Professional systems need more dynamic
range than a home system to make sure that saturation of a digital system
NEVER occurs during a recording session.  It also guarantees that any
added noise, mixing tracks in the presence of a dither signal, does not
lead to audible noise in the final product.
