Why must I leave this wonderful newsgroup to read an article on a web
page just to find out what your question or comment is about?
The article is an answer to a reader's letter, and it's on the letters
page of Sound On Sound.
The punchline in the article is that you need headroom when you're
recording and mixing, but you can then get rid of that headroom when
distributing, which is something that's been going on since the earliest
days of tape recording. The only thing that changed with digital is that
as the noise floor is lower than it is with tape and the consequences of
overload are so drastic, you now ideally leave more headroom than in the
days of 24 track tape machines.
Quite why themoron@gmail thinks this needs discussing here is beyond me,
too.
