I see deaf people
I dont think any couple that is going for a romantic balloon ride, or the guy who studied hot air ballooning his whole adult life and makes his living off giving them, or the company that manufactures the fuel and materials needed to create a hot air balloon sit and worry about not being a "threat" to the airline industry. They just enjoy the view and the demand for what it is they do.
Im not worried about changes that occur outside of my own lifetime.
Digital will always be 1s and 0s until it becomes so complex it will turn back into analog, which we already have now.
Im in my 20s, and have always loved analog. So does almost everyone i know, ages 19 and up. The bands i know around town are all spending big money to have their record done on tape machines in studios. More and more people i know who have switched to digital are now coming back and saying they miss the sound and feel of analog, none of them even in their 30s yet. So i dont see where age has anything to do with it. Also, i dont know if id really put too much weight on the opinions of young men anyways. They are doomed to always believe what they are doing is at the forefront anyways, even if it is light years behind they cant see it. I barely know anyone under 30 who can even write a good song or knows how to use a compressor, so i dont see the point of trying to believe that a young persons flawed logic beats the experience of someone whos done it and knows for a fact what works. I dont think anyone here in this forum over 35 who has tape machine experience prefers it because of their "age". Theyve done it all, and they chose what they preferred. Im getting a little tired of age stigma.
Young people seem to really love to point out the cliches in others, while completely disregarding their own.
The vinyl singles my band made sold out in 2 weeks. We still have a huge pile of CDs sitting in the corner though. So, to each his own.
Then your personal experience is driving your opinion here...it's understandable but not really applicable
And age stigma is a side effect from the lack of experience you will have at your age...there is little you can do about that, well except grow older lol
You have no idea where digital will take us, neither have I, and I doubt anyone here would be able to tell the difference between two recordings done by experts on the two systems...we just like to think we would...its the same with mic'd versus DI amps..people always have an opinion yet seldom can differentiate between the two in any blind tests
its the old "modern life is rubbish" moniker..it does make me laugh...modern life is excellent...embrace it
