dex Otaku Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Type-R is only 7 years old [released in 1998]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1980 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Yes, I was actually thinking of SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 SP debuted with the original Sony MD in (i believe) 1992 which would put Atrac (and thus SP) at 13 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 SP has evolved over the years, so trying to say that SP now = SP in 1992 is patently false.Just thought I'd point that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 i wonder which version of Atrac SP is the equivelent to Atrac3 132kbps Type-R. I mean there has to be something pretty close because im pretty sure Type R beat atrac 1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artstar Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I've got a question.Does recording from a analog source such as radio plays on audiotape also sound better with HI-SP or SP than PCM?I would like to save my radio plays (the three investigators) on minidisc.←Better? It's a lossy compression algorithm so of course it won't sound better than PCM. BUT ... will you notice the difference is the better question? In which case, I'd be amazed if you did spot any differences (i.e. if you noticed that it did sound worse than PCM) considering that it is an analogue source that is of a bandwidth even more limited than the recording format itself.That's like asking if you took old Super8 footage, would it look better recorded/transferred to DVCAM or Digital Betacam. Regardless of the format, it will look the same to at least 99% of the audiences out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that way Atrac would probably give you much more 'overhead' then you actually need and therefore there would be no difference to anyone that doesnt sit around listening for differences for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
