wgliradio said:This is not a shot at anyone in particular, because I have seen this everywhere, but alot of people process for HD and the internet with the exact same mindset as they do for AM or FM. You can't. You're dealing with a whole new ballgame. There are major differences. While you have lost pre-emphasis and clipping and deviation and button pushers that can percieve loudness differences instantly, you have gained other factors like codec artifacts and the absolute 0 that is digital audio (no running the speed limit here).
Mike is absolutely right here. It's not good to just use FM processing for digital. Although the majority of processing is similar, there are important differences that shouldn't be ignored. I wrote a little article that focuses on the technical differences between processing for FM and for digital. You can find it on page 8 in January issues of Radio Guide: http://www.radio-guide.com/issues/RG-JAN-2007.pdf
