I never heard DSD but also never felt the need for more than PCM.
Good point. You tell me. I can't imagine why one has to choose when all formats can be facilitated in one box without any problem.
Thank you. This is fascinating, and that is a great list of music
Studios don't change because working with DSD is almost the digital equivalent of recording direct to disc vinyl. Almost none of the usual studio sound adjustments are available in DSD. No EQ, no compression, no pitch correction, no auto tune, etc. Think a recorder finally allowed fade in and out. Otherwise, doing these things requires converting to PCM then back to DSD, often many times.
I showed that to my older daughter to get her impression on the staging etc as someone involved in theatre (just high school). She enjoyed it without knowing any Lexx.
That's the best reason for making them DSD
No f'ng up the recording. Of course, doing it right in one take or so would really make costs skyrocket I suppose.
Putting things in perspective though, it is a student production by the Curtis Institute of Music — orchestra and singers all music students, and the reason for the small theater and minimal staging.
Yeah, it was a good outing. The only thing I really found distracting was the characters' constant moving around of the pianos.
