Pre-emphasis (release list)

From cdHistory
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Legend

  • TOC -- PRE flag appears in the disc Table of Contents. Most software only checks the TOC.
  • Sub -- Pressing has the PRE flag in the track subcodes. This is what CD players use to detect pre-emphasis, but it generally requires special software to detect on a computer.
  • Suspected Missing PE Flag -- Indicates that some people believe the audio on the pressing to be emphasized even though (presumably due to a mastering error) there are no PRE flags in the TOC or audio subcodes. This would result in an unusually "brittle" sounding high-end on all rips and CD players.
