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:
“When the manipulations of childhood are a little larceny, they may grow and change with the child into qualities useful and admire in the grown-up world. When they are the futile struggle for love and concern and protection, they may become the warped and ruthless machinations of adults who seek in the advantages of power what they could never win as children.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“If we live in the Nineteenth Century, why should we not enjoy the advantages which the Nineteenth Century offers? Why should our life be in any respect provincial?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
