New Audio Formats - a Time of Change, a Time of Opportunity
Overview
New audio formats will change the way recording, mixing, and mastering are done. There is no doubt about it. High resolution formats (96 kHz, 24-bit, DSD) and multi-channel formats (uncompressed 5.1) can be expected to permeate the audio industry in every way. The next few years promise to be a period of tremendous experimentation and invention. It is a very exciting time, indeed.
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about the meaning of these developments. It
seems wise to go over the facts and see if we can separate the subjective components from the objective components. The purpose of this document is to try to put our evaluation of the new formats on a rational basis. This will not, by itself, answer all our questions: there
is undoubtedly a subjective and preferential component to this discussion that we cannot address here.
