THATz the attitude man! itz about the fucking music of course
the digital vs. analog discussion is there so ppl
can be lazy not finishing their tracks cause the still
don´t have "that final machine" that will make their
production happen.
I always believed that before you start taling about high-end
equipment you got to know what you are doing musical-wise 1st...
ppl today start buying equipment first cause they buy the
illusion of being able to make killer tracks with it. I remember
Omni Trio making his first 12" on moving shadow with a freaking
amiga 16-bit extension and that includes some of his best stuff.
i know ppl that can make analog gear sound digital and
vice versa. knowing that...
on the other hand:
modern analog high end gear has a natural BIG and soft sound, so
if you want to sound it cold and ultraclean you gonna loose with
that equipment and you´ll need a comp. the best compromise
is using Universal Audio UAD-1 DSP cards that make nice
emulations of vintage analog outboard stuff AND a computer´s
host sequencer.
I personally like to blend both qualities: the precision and tightness
of computermusic and some nice pumped up analog stuff (emulations
start to work nicely nowadays so there is no real need to buy the hardware)
