Re: DVD-A recording

***Just out of curiosity, what are you using to burn DVD-A discs? Do you have a DVD burner that can do this? ***

All you need is a DVD recorder, a PC (doesn't even need to be super fast), and DVD-Audio authoring software. If you want to capture to a PC, you need a good ADC with the ability to transfer data to your PC (many people have an Alesis, it seems), or a 24/96 soundcard to record (rip) directly from your PC.
If you have an old 500mHz PIII machine, you can easily create a small workstation for a limited budget (less than $1,200).

I use discWelder Steel from Minnetonka Audio, as several inmates on this forum. So far, it is the cheapest entry point into authoring DVD-A. If you're interested, there's lot of information in the archives, that you can easily retrieve. There's also a story 'Burn your own DVD-As" on the www.dvd-a.dk website that Lars B runs.

Vinyl LPs: Several inmates record their LPs on DVD-A at 24/96, perhaps you can search the posts of Akimball / Anevsky on this. Others use DVD-A to archive live music recorded at 24/96, try searching recent posts niconico,but also from professionals who have experience of higher range equipment.

Some here also do music DVDs (DADs), which allow 24/96 in LPCM just like DVD-A, but is more complex in the authoring. The inmate Ducati does that.

Hope this helps?

***Increasing bit depth to 24 bits will definitely improve dynamic range.***

Provided I work with already recorded PCM material, I don't think I can improve dynamic range. But I was hoping that increasing bit depth would help reduce clipping when normalizing tracks.

Any thoughts on that? (I also use SF, and sometimes CoolEdit.)

Best
