Message-ID: <2694@ihldt.UUCP> Date: Mon, 21-Jan-85 16:33:02 EST Article-I.D.: ihldt.2694 Posted: Mon Jan 21 16:33:02 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 22-Jan-85 05:55:47 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 13 Here's a question for those who know about recording procedures: I recently bought several of CDs that were labled as being "Digital Master/Analog Recording". I figured that the most important thing was that it was digitally mastered. I got them home and found out that I was wrong. From the levels of hiss on the disks, it is clear that they were produced from an analog source. My question then, is "If the recording is digitally mastered, why do they make the CD from an analog recording?" Seems strange to me. Bob Stewart ihldt!stewart
