I agree with your observation. If ATRAC has some disadvantage, it is that
the final sounds, the last of a fading echo, will get slightly broken and
crispy, especially if you boost it, of course.
But:
How many loudspeakers/ headphones / humans ears will detect this "error"?
Very few.
And how "delicate" sounds is it realistic to work with, considering even
classical music today is recorded to fit a car stereo set-up?
I recently read an article about monitor loudspeakers for studios. They
claimed that a "good" studio should have average replay equipment, to make
the mixing "fit" for average hi-fi's. I see what they mean, but I don't
agree at all.
But they have a point:
The danger with HQ reference loudspeakers, they claimed - and here I agree
to some extent - is that you tend to work with too sophisticated effects, -
effects that will be lost or distorted, unless you use the very best of
loudspeakers.
It's like making a painting so sophisticated, that it has to be looked at
with the same kind of light as you have in your painting studio.
They took an example: Suppose you have a top class equipment, and when
listening through your reference loudspeakers, you find that the sounds of
running water drops make a beautiful background effect.
But replayed in average loudspeakers, those drops will just sound disturbin=
g
and far from "beautiful".
Okay, I would personally make a choise here: I would go for the best
recordings I could make, and then care only about the fans with equipment
good enough!
But it is a choise. That is what I want to say.
And what mic's do you use? In my experience, only Sennheiser MKH20 is silen=
t
enough to make MD "crispiness" audible. When using other mics, the
(possible) "crisp" gets lost in inherent noise. Or?
Klas.
