Have you ever listened to a live concert, heard NATURAL reverberation and acoustics, even acoustics that were not quite right. Introducing artifacts - after the fact - can NEVER replace a NATURAL acoustic environment. And why would you???

Your analogy is WRONG.

< >
You would still loose resolution!

< >
Thats scary! More res lost!

< >

The original would still be the original, anything you did would deviate from the master and therefore be "coloured". You may like the digitized copy better, but in fact it would be a distorted artifact of the original.

Are finally you getting with the program - We are trying to reproduce the original sound - NOT change it, because any change is a form of distortion. This is not like adding reverb in the recording studio - our equipment is not designed to IMPROVE the original signal.

< < Your Audio 101 is a bit outdated! > >
Your failing fast ... and this is the basic course! If you cannot grasp the BASIC practical lesson that the word "copy" means - Audio 201: 'in theory' would be a major stretch.

JCW, with respect to your obvious lack of understanding of audio, your homework is to research the basic concept of re-production (and i don't mean with your spouce(or partner), although thats a start).
The principles of generic mutations come much later - only once you have gotten a grasp on certain basics rules that will never change.

This is as good as any place to start your audio education!
