In Reply to: Possible instance of watermarking? posted by Christine Tham on May 14, 2003 at 13:35:48:
Watermarking can be done at several different levels of strength, and it is *NOT* present even on all Warner titles.At its *strongest*, it can be audible in transients (an mp3-like psychoacoustic ringing) and as a 'sharpening' of the sound, a sort of 'lifting an separation' of the high end.
I can provide A/B's for anyone who'd like to send me some PCM for me to Verance watermark for them.
It is audible, (not only to golden ears) - but mostly on the *highest* strength setting.
I agree that many people may not hear it at all, I think I do simply because I've worked with it.

- Nah. The Verance mark tends to 'sharpen' sound, add 'glare', not 'muffling'. It's probably on master - Michi 11:47:12 05/15/03 (7)
