Hi Lee, I'm cc'ing to the MD mailing list too. Lee Sanderson writes: >What is the sound quality when recording at a high speed dubbing rate with a >home MD recorder? Is the high speed dubbing also done in the MDLP mode(s) >and how good is that sound quality? I assume you're talking about a CD/MD deck that will dub at up to 4X realtime. In all cases the resulting quality is determined by the MD recording mode: SP, LP2 or LP4. High speed dubbing only affects sound quality in the following respect: On the MXD-D5C and MXD-D40 the SP mode is ATRAC 4.5 when in high speed mode and Type-R ATRAC for realtime dubbing. The difference between these two is likely to be nearly, if not entirely, inaudible.
