[net.audio] production intersteps

yraurb@hou2g.UUCP (G.DECKER) (03/22/84)

Michael Stimac asks if a mike is an analog device and off hand I would say
it is.  There is a question of semantics though because Telarc refers to
production intersteps and I believe they mean that this excludes the mikes
and preamps before the digital recorder.

Sorry, guys, but the question about microphones is just another
red herring.   

When Telarc says "intersteps", they mean the steps between the
original digital recording and the CD digital recording. 
Microphones don't enter into THAT at all.

Interested net folks should look in Rabiner and Gold, "Theory and
Application of Digital Signal Processing", or Rabiner and
Shaeffer (similar title that's not at hand right now) for some
basics of digital sampling rate conversion.
