hi you guys
this question came up in my mind while shopping for cassettes and lp's on Ebay.
So,some labels reissuing cassettes, lp's are reissued like crazy, and a lot of "new" music coming out on lp's too.
But, if we put aside the fun of just playing cassettes and lp's, if it has been produced from digital recordings or digital copies back in the studio, that wouldn't be considered true analog isn't it? i mean, it has already been digitized to "10111001", putting it back to analog formats won't bring the lost sound from the deads isn't it?
let's take for example rhcp's BSSM album.
I guess it was recorded on a STUDER reel to reel of some sort (or did the digital equipment already took over the studios in 91'?) ?
so buying an original cassette from back then, that would be a true analog experience..but what about a 2016 reissue of a cassette or lp that they might have used their digital copies to reproduce?or "worse" 2010's music that was definItley recorded digitally and then they issued it on lp's.
i can just copy FLAC version of the album from my PC to a cassete using a cassete deck, and that would be pretty much the same.. digital info on an analog format.
or isn't it?
YES i am confused as hell and i might confused you too
thanks !
