       It was so thoughtful of them to ensure that silence is encoded with Dolby Noise Reduction.

       @vwestlife I got a guided tour of a vinyl pressing plant when I was younger.They did cassette duplication upstairs. Source material came in on 1/4" tape reels from a mastering lab. High speed duplication was done on a set of Tapematic machines mounted in 19" racks. Each rack had some Dolby units, each one of which was very obviously not plugged in or powered on.I noticed that, and asked my guide why. I was told that everything gets set to "standard levels". All the staff laughed at that.

       Speaking of which, paying for silence seems like something from a dystopian future, but people were doing that as far back as the 1940s: https://youtu.be/OpCz2bg3cUE
