Me:
I'm not complaining at all really, more trying to say that a
naturesoundrecordist perhaps should focus on other parameters than possible
ATRAC errors.
Yannick worked with music (?) otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up.
By "crispy" I mean "broken, scratchy" but in a way which I cannot describe.
First time I experienced this was with my first Sony TCD-D10, first
generation portable D/A converters. I had recorded a choire, and when I
listened to it I wanted some kind of non-existant equalizer or compressor to
do something which I couldn't define. The recording just made me nervous,
and no conventional filtering could help. Replayed through an external D/A
converter it came out fine. After that I have become sort of allergic to a
special kind of errors, or whatever it is.
I still favour MD, though, because of all the practical advantages. And
whatever we discuss on the topic, the sound quality coming out of it is
better than the loudspeakers.
