Haha - here we go again - another argument looms... So allow me. How exactly does digital 'sound bad'?? All my remastered copies of Zeppelin's entire works - digitally restored, originally from analogue - sound better than ever! Analogue sounds good but deteriorates over time if not 'looked after' and is subject to deterioration by physical elements unlike digital recordings. Yes, HD/Digital recording is subject to unrecoverable data loss - so what do you do if you lose your analogue masters then???! What's the difference?? You either have it or you don't. Analogue or digital. At least if you make a copy of something digital the quality is better than copying analogue. Besides, digital is just easier to handle, store and use. Even if it was somehow *proven* that analogue was better than digital - I doubt I could be bothered sat around chopping up bits of tape and splicing it back together to write music or make recordings. Personally I'm looking forward to COMPLETE wireless technology so I never have to untangle another wire or piece of tape AGAIN. On 8 Nov 2004, at 18:20, qwerty wrote:

Fuck the digital millenium! :-) Here are some facts about why HD/Digital recording sucks: - It sounds bad - It is subject to unrecoverable data loss - Archiving is extremely dangerous Here are some facts about why Analogue recording is superior: - It sounds good - Unrecoverable music loss occurs only upon the total destruction of the medium - Archiving is excellent more on http://www.irdial.com/madness.htm RAVE ON!
