Howdy all,
a little while back, a week or so anyway someone wrote in asking =
about generational loss of atrac encoding. I'm sorry i dont remember =
the name of the book i read this in, but here are a few little things =
that i recall from it. First off most of this stuff is in theory only =
and in reality doesn't apply. I remember reading that if in a perfect =
environment you had 2 identical recorder/players that had digital =
inputs/outputs and no attenuational loss whatsoever that when you =
recorded from your original source to the first generation of atrac =
there would be a loss of quality, however in that "perfect" world where =
it was all digital and no attenuation or any other interference at all, =
going from your recorder/player to your other identical md =
recorder/player since the ATRAC systems should be identical and should =
attempt to compress the audio the same in all the same places the =
recording's should not have a generational loss. remember this is in a =
perfect environment. however when you go from an ATRAC from one maker =
to another, or even a different generation of ATRAC, there would be a =
larger loss than in that perfect world because it would attempt to =
compress in different areas. so basically what it was trying to say is =
that if you recorded from let's say a denon DMD-1000 to another DMD-1000 =
and back and forth forever you would get less generational loss than =
going from a DMD-1000 to a sony PC-2 and back and forth because the =
ATRAC encoding systems would attempt to comrpess the audio in different =
areas. Anyway if i can find the book that was in i'll let ya'll know. =
I hope this helps out a little bit, and remember this is all in a =
"perfect" environemt which we all know does not exist so it's pretty =
much a moot point, but i thought it might help someone out there :)
Later
Matt
