I recently listened to one of the new Sheffield CDs. This was one of their "Direct-to-Disk" CDs. While the sound was nothing special (for a CD, that is :-), it did set me to thinking. The DtoD system trades noise from the copying process for flexibility in the mix (Do DtoD systems have a mix?). Since the extra noise from a digital copy is negligible (or non-existent), this would seem to be a bad trade. However, I'm not in the audio recording business, so I can't be sure - and may be totally lost. Someone care to shed some light on the subject - say by explaining exactly what happens for DtoD recordings, both digital and analog? How about some comments? <mike

Gee, maybe Sheffield's next product will be HALF SPEED "direct to disk" recordings? Phil
