theoretically in that if done perfectly it
would just create a copy of the file, and a bad idea practically because
even if it's a good 'effect' it won't be audible in a significant way on
other equipment. I mean, why not Mytek it 10 times in a row? Will we get
incremental (or maybe even compound) increases in 'clarity' and 'depth' with
each pass?
And the theme for the day is that there are diminishing returns when it comes
to audio precision, and they show up way, way before most people in this
racket seem to realize. Which is why I think Brian T didn't just track at
16 bit I think he truncated individual tracks and then dithered the stereo
mixdown. Smart guy, that Brian.
