Advantages
Technically, direct-to-disc recording is believed to result in a more accurate, less noisy recording through the elimination of up to 4 generations of master tapes, overdubs, and mix downs from multi-tracked masters. Losses resulting from conversion of the signal into digital form and its reconversion into analog may also be avoided, although some modern disc cutting equipment makes this step mandatory. The method bypasses problems inherent in recording tape: tape hiss, wow and flutter, and limited dynamic range.
From the musicians' point of view, the advantages of direct-to-disc recording are a greater immediacy and interaction among the players.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To become aware in time when young of the advantages of age; to maintain the advantages of youth in old age: both are pure fortune.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Can you conceive what it is to native-born American women citizens, accustomed to the advantages of our schools, our churches and the mingling of our social life, to ask over and over again for so simple a thing as that “we, the people,” should mean women as well as men; that our Constitution should mean exactly what it says?”
—Mary F. Eastman, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4 ch. 5, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
