Digital Signal Processing: take a signal (in this case audio), do some matrix math on it (in hardware or software), and use the result. It's like any other tool -- it can be used for good or ill. I'm just of the opinion that, for all too many musicians, it's this years version of Capri pants, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't call myself a purist, I'm just a guy whose heard enough digital clipping to last me awhile, thanks. Use the tools, don't let them use you. cristian said:
