Recording to CD: More than Meets the Ear
Overview
In this article, we explore the subject of CD recording as it pertains to audio production. In Part I, we'll present a brief theoretical overview of CD data encoding, storage, and retrieval. In Part II, we'll tackle various hardware and interface options, and explore some of the more useful recording methods and technologies. We'll also define some of the most commonly-encountered technical terms as we go along.
A compact disc nothing more than a physical medium used to store binary information. In this regard, it's no different than a floppy disk, the hard drive in your computer, or a DAT -- it's merely a way of storing a long list of ones and zeros. What makes a CD -- and for that matter, any other digital storage medium -- unique is the way in which the data is written, arranged and accessed. While a very technical explanation of how this is done would exceed the scope of this article, a simplified presentation is in order.
