in the future Digital recording will sound exactly like Analog recording.. and then.. better :D

[soapboxearth2]

just play some slide for a month!! thanks for the info

[PilotDownhill]

when recording analog do u have to do each instrument in one take? or can u keep starting where u messed up?

[NoEgg4u]

Compression should be considered sacrilegious. Compression is what kills the dynamics of the sound. Compression is at the heart of the "loudness" wars (when taken to extremes).

.

I am not an audio engineer. But I would imagine that if you have to use compression due to saturating your tape, then you have your gain (or levels) up too high.

.

Excellent video, BTW. But I did not hear you mention digital's other problems, such as the low "bit" rate, and jitter.

Dude this is a great explanation of digital and analog technology. Sadly most people do not know what digital technology really means, just that it is newer and "better".

[perfectthetech]

Yes, exactly, great.

[synth77]

I was thinking but getting one of them Otari MX 5050 there fairly cheap but still used by pros.

[mta415]

I prefer analog over digital. My system is just "high end" enough where you can actually hear the difference. No digital "jitter" is also a plus.

[djverdugo7]

The vinyl has true sound stage which makes it sound wider & more pronounce CDs doesn't have that.

I want to make a video where I talk for 10 min with a guitar in my hands, and don't do anything with it.
