- Maybe it's time to start being one....
-
- Dolby C is dynamic, Dolby B is static. The compression effect changes
- throughout a Dolby C recording. As such, you *cannot* readily play it
- back on a machine without Dolby C, whereas you certainly can play a Dolby
- B tape back on a machine sans Dolby.
-
- Playing a Dolby C tape back w/o Dolby C will give, ah, less than desirable
- results.
