a taper pal of mine, that is not on ts.com (yet), says that he sometimes upsamples his d7 dat tapes from 16bit to 24bit in order to add post processing compression, normailzing, etc.
he says that it allows for a smoother transition from the raw data to the bounced data
he then down samples back to 16 bit for cd burning, shn and flac distribution
does this make sense?
anyone else do this?
