A couple of weeks ago somebody expressed an interest
in the method used to convert Telarc's digital masters
from the Soundstream Digital Tape Recorder sampling
frequency to Compact Disc sampling frequency.
Well, according to the technical information enclosed
with the Compact Disc version of Stravinsky's "Rite
of Spring" (Lorin Maazel & the Cleveland Orchestra):
"During the recording of the digital masters and the
subsequent transfer to disc, the entire audio chain
was transformerless. The signal was not passed through
any processing device (i.e., compression, limiting, or
equalization) at any step during production.
"Sampling frequency conversion of Telarc's Soundstream
digital master to the Compact Disc format was accomplished
with the Studer SFC-16 sampling frequency converter. The
>>> digital information was not subjec to any analog intersteps,
thus preserving the integrity of the original digital master."
But what about the microphones? Aren't they considered analog devices?
