Re: [linux-audio-user] Mastering; Rezound, fir filter, digital clipping

OK then, just a last word on this (off-topic!) CD thread to sum up. For the record, I haven't really got a clue what I'm talking about either, but did also read my Pohlmann all those years ago :-) 1. As Ross said, Even in the audio CD format, there is enough error correction built in to basically avoid bit errors in the reading of the disk. To make this system break down, you need really large damage, like putting a piece of black tape across the disk. Does happen, but not often. The player will then fudge sound by interpolation. 2. But there seems to be a quite different problem here, as Jesse said, which basically is a silly incompatibility thing between audio and data CD formats, and clock sync problems. It's really crazy that this is a problem at all (I smell a music industry conspiracy), but seems to be better in CDR drives made these days. 3. So, in other words, I think I disagree with Mark - the problem, if any, *will* be solved by recording digitally from an audio CD player with digital out. Just be sure to get the word clock settings right to avoid bit sync problems. Oyvind.
