Check/Compensate for CD Emphasis

+

While somewhat rare, certain CDs had 'emphasis' applied as a form of noise reduction. This seems to mostly affect early (1980s) era CDs and some CDs pressed in Japan. Emphasis is part of the Red Book standard and, if present, must be compensated for to ensure accurate playback. CDs that use emphasis contain flags on tracks that tell the CD player to de-emphasize the audio on playback. When ripping a CD with emphasis, it is important to take this into account and either apply de-emphasis while ripping, or if storing a 'flat' copy, create another de-emphasized listening copy.

The following commands will output information about the presence of emphasis when run on a target CD:

+

Cdda2wav: cdda2wav -J

+

CD Paranoia: cdparanoia -Q

+

In order to compensate for emphasis during ripping while using Cdda2wav, the -T flag can be added to the standard ripping command. For a recipe to compensate for a flat rip, see the section on de-emphasizing with FFmpeg. +
