    Before I make myself the stress to explain any further digital audio production specifications, I post a few links for my distinguished friends here. Below some links to basic theoretical papers which deal with the subject of mastering and transcoding audio for lazer discs:

    Overload in Signal Conversion

    A paper about the headroom needed in processing, routing and reproduction of digital signals to prevent distortion and listening fatigue from happening. It includes a discussion of AD, DA, sample rate conversion and data reduction systems.

    Mastering and Formats - Stop Counting Samples

    Report from the frontline of the CD Loudness war, 2006: It's not over yet. Read about distortion developing in CD players, data reduction systems etc. The Appendix suggests improved procedures to follow in production and mastering.

    0 dBFS+ Levels in Digital Mastering

    This paper examines the sonic consequences when 0dBFS+ signals are reproduced in typical consumer equipment. The performance of a variety of domestic CD players exposed to such signals are presented and evaluated.

    Level Control in Digital Mastering

    Music mastering is becoming a battle for maximum level rather than a quest for audio quality, because counting consecutive samples at OdBFS is not an adequate restriction of level.

    The Secret of the Mastering Engineer

    Mastering is an art and a science. In this acclaimed booklet, Bob Katz shares good advice about monitoring, metering and processing. About listening to the music and supporting it as the road to Nirvana - from one of the true yogis of our industry.

    Unfortunately, since the forum upgrade, I've been unable to edit my own post! Aaaargh! It's so frustrating. Why can't this get sorted?!
