How did you know it was Mark then? I can't see anything over here. :confused:

I was trying to reply to your hamburger. :D

Oh, ok so it's disabled. I did try that.
 
So Mike, you use digital to subvert digital, plus making a profit on your sales of digital.

Neat trick. Why didnt I think of that?

I "use digital" for what it's useful for.
Selling "of digital" (one way or the other) - that's what everyone does nowdays.
Profit is a natural consequence of a sale.

No tricks what so ever.

Thinking is a good thing.

I've been moving boack towards analog for over a year now. I simply don't like the digital harshness. I also like the idea that you have to be somwhat on your game when recording an analog piece as there isn't a lot of editing that can be done after the fact.
 
I sort of wonder if there are phasing issues amongst tracks with some digital gear. Sometimes a single track or a live track will sound good soloed but in with a mix turns to mush. I've had that experience A LOT. I once transferred a 4 track recording to my Roland and a once very prevalent and distinct hi-hat that always stood out in the analog mixes could absolutely not be raised to stand out again in the digital mix.

Are you talking about legendary VS-880? I remember wishing one badly :D
Didn't it have some special "modes" of sort...
"Roland RDAC is a "lossless-compression" scheme."
...heh heh
Do you still have the machine? If so, keep it. VINTAGE!!!!! :cool: :D
 
Currently I am almost all digital. Even my external gear (Kurzweil K2600, Liquid Mix) is digital. I don't see myself moving to analog recording medium, i.e. tape, however, I do want to get my hands on some analog sound sources (Cwejman Modular synth for example) and some analog outboard (Vulture Culture is high on my list) processing. I'd also like to get something like a Motion Sound keyboard amp to mic my Kurzweil through for some sounds.

Steve,

When you are replying there's a white and red button that says "you tube" just above where you type your text (far right). Click on it and it will place a YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE html tag in your reply. To embed a youtube video place the string of numbers and letters after the equal sign from the youtube URL you wish to embed.

For example, here's the whole address from the KISS vid I embedded:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot3l8o5TzSM

So just take the string after the equal sign, put it in between the tags and voila!

YOUTUBE]Ot3l8o5TzSM[/YOUTUBE

(I removed the first and last bracket from the tags so you could see what is going on. Just click on the youtube button and you’ll see what I mean)

Yup, digital harshness has been with us ever since Ry Cooder's "Bop till you Drop".
40 years later and the best brains in the business still cant work out how to get rid of that "digital harshness"... Maybe one day they will...;)
 
40 years later Those "best brains" can't get enough of rewarding TecAwards to themselves (to spotlight their Huge Success, of course) for introducing yet another and then yet another breakthrough ANTI-DIGITAL plug-in PACK, sh*t like "Navie-rack'n'crack" TM, "TrueTapeSimo" TM, "Real-Reel-Spino" TM and crap like that.....
And, yeah, there some folks outthere (not too many, but just some) who don't even laugh at this any longer, because it's rather pathetic than funny.

P.S.
One can't catch the missed Train forty years later.

Tim Beck!
D.I.Y. it!
Cook some rice - stove top style, or make some mash potato, grab a carot. Throw a chicken leg on grill.
LIFE IS GOOD! :D
 
Finally read through the past week or so of posts and you know what? The whole thing makes me want to take another nap in my MM-1000.

I am right there with jjones regarding the dynamic sculpture that is an analog tape recorder and all is noises and rollers, not to mention the reels spinning. So it is part of the experience of working with tape...and really...all this arguing does nothing but make me like analog better.

One thing we haven't talked about is amplitude ceiling and how digital and analog mediums handle the "current" when it reaches that ceiling...herein lay vast differences between analog and digital...

And I have to take the bait on Blue Jinn's comments about pre vs. post IC gear...I'm not encamped in either one (discreet or integrated), but my experience when audio passed through one of the line amp modules for my Ampex 440 and on to my ears left me literally saying "What th...how could anybody miss THIS?!" Yep...one of those 40 year old space hogging chunks of discreet gear with transformers and huge cap cans and audio sounds so alive and present through it. The "specs" aren't great. I...don't...care. It sounds awesome...to me. Nobody but nobody can argue with that which is great because it would be a terrific waste of time.

Time for a nap.
