I like Albini's production work and I am a huge Failure fan , but I'm going to have to agree with Ken on this one. Digital sounds great and is indeed much easier to use than analog, not saying that analog is horrible. It's funny because Albini produced Failure's first album Comfort. The music is great on the album, but the production is not the best and is definitely the worst out of Failure's three albums. Albini admitted that he didn't like the sound of Comfort

Analog is good because it's easy to get more bandwidth...record the tape at 30ips instead of 15ips, make an AM radio station go out to 10 kHz per sideband instead of 5kHz with a crystal oscillator, make the cassette recorder head gap smaller. Digital works on thresholds, a slightly mangled pulse from a wearing medium representing a digital bit of an audio sample can be copied onto new media with a clean pulse. Analog has generation loss. With digital, you're stuck the with original bandwidth.

I don't know whose side should I take. I like Ken Andrews as much as I do Steve Albini (Albini actually worked with Andrews's former band Failure on their debut album Comfort.)

Thats the stupidest thing ive heard in a long time, music was not Meant to be recorded, thats not the goal or nature of the sound, recording was just a tool to keep music and move music around or Sound for that matter, so music was meant to be reproduced in a Natural way, meaning Played Live! i know they make up sentences just to sound witty, imitating the Quotes from Books, but its stupid!
