It used to be mic noise, preamp noise, and tape noise. Now it's mic noise, =
preamp noise, conversion noise, and post-conversion gain changes either in =
the recorder or in post.

Basically the conversion noise is the "medium" like the tape, but it's so m=
uch lower that the process becomes easier to use (if not to understand).
