RE: MD: What constitutes a hit?/Digital artefacts and ATRAC

-Original Message- From: las [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I'm not sure if it is the compression, so much as the use of digital itself that is causing the artifacts. Try listening to an early CD on an early CD player. I think in many cases you will not be satisfied. -End Original

Re: MD: Re: Hearing Compression Artifacts

Thanks Christopher. Could you say a little about what makes long duration sibilants difficult? The compression system works, essentially, by recognising that a strong signal component will mask (ie render inaudible to the human auditory system) lower level components that are nearby in

MD: . where do *you* like to use minidisc
