In other words, the three letters of the SPARS code are simply not enough to designate hybrid digital/analog recordings. They had to use either A or D -- and any hybrids would have required a four-letter SPARS code, which the industry never even considered. (Mixes are done on either digital tape or analog tape; that signifies the second letter in the three-letter SPARS code. And the SPARS code made no mention of whether a digital mixing console or an analog mixing console is used, since there were very few digital mixing consoles in existence at the time the SPARS code was adopted.)And they can't call BIA "AAD" or "ADD," either, because the recording is partially digital.
But because of a very loose rule for "digital" compliance, they had to call BIA a "DDD" recording, because it was mixed on digital tape (assuming the digital master is used in the CD mastering), and any digital at all whatsoever is involved in the basic recording (even if analog equipment is used).
