Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording77Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital RecordingIn answering the second question, consider the fact that music is often compressedor amplified after it is recorded, and that some headroom is necessary whenrecording to avoid clipping. The only way that 96dB would be adequate is if allmusic were recorded so that the peaks were just under full-scale and nocompressing or amplification was going to be applied after recording. Any timerecorded music is amplified, so is the noise at the low end. Your Echo product hasenough dynamic range to allow sufficient headroom and post-processing to beapplied while still keeping the noise either off the CD completely or down as far aspossible.
