digital: great for almost everything, except bass.
analog: BASS. now the rest of u stupid-nerds can keep arguing here. |

hmmm what if you use a perfect reproduction of an analogue signal but using digital... im not talking about a sample here im talking about REALTIME digital synth ... ?
is there any difference? REALLY? and why? |

Digital is an aproximation of a signal. It's 1's and 0's telling it to output certain frequencies and hardware interaction that would happen in the real thing, whereas analog has no digital whatsoever, it's an electrical signal going through tubes and transistors etc, so there isn't really such a thing as true analog reproduction of a signal. The main problem is that since it's digital and not happening through the transistors and tubes, it looses analog's inherant "warmth" and comes out more "cold" and artificial. It's tough to describe exactly what I mean with those terms, hopefully you'll understand from having heard with experience.

cd player? computer?
you can have all analog synths plugged into a console then into a compressor.... dumbass |

yes but what's the use of all that, if it eventually ends up on some digital system in the end? |

Look at a CD. There should be a little box with 3 letters, A's and D's.
First letter = method of recording: *A*nalog or *D*igital Second Letter = Mixing Process: Analog or Digital Third Letter = Mastering: Analog or digital Obviously, if the CD is DDD, that's as good as it's going to sound, but if it's got an A for the first 2 letters, then you can use a good, high-end DA converter to enhance the frequencies that are lost in digital processing. And, tipsy, that wasn't copy/paste. I've been into the audiophile end of listening gear since I was 12. :) THIS is a copy and paste: Rupert Neve and other experienced designers advocate building equipment with a bandwidth of at least 200 kHz (ten times that of CD.) There's only one reason for this: it sounds better. The harmonics of many instruments lie well above audio. If they are rolled off, a quality of naturalness and transparency is lost, and for not-well- explained reasons, superior performance at the top can improve the quality of the bass also. While you can't store the full signal on the final CD or DVD disc, having the capacity available during processing is important. (Custom designs at DRT have bandwidths from DC into the video range.) Digital processing is not close to adequate in this area. 96kHz sampling rates, while an improvement, still won't handle all the fine detail. |

saying that it doesnt matter if you have analog gear displays a fundamental misunderstanding about how sound is made versus how sound is recorded.
if u continue producing, u will sooner or later learn about this. |

yeah, last winter I got to "hear" the "super-tweeters" that are being put out. The super tweeter only ouputs the high-end frequencies that people can't hear. Why would anyone want this? Because even though we can't discern them, they affect our brains regardless and make for a better listening experience.
Now if I only had 950k$ for the sound system I want, I'd be happy... |

Shit I couldn't even to put to words what I was trying to say above...
Of course there's a huge difference between analogue and digital synths, that I understand. I think you don't need to record everything on an analogue mixing board if it's going to end up on CD.. but then again it seems I'm wrong, as there are ways of optimizing the sound so as it sounds close enough to an analogue recording. The point is: I'm not a freaking moron! |

anolog eipment tends to color the sound and make it warmer, so an analog mixing board being recorded to cd would still sound different than a digital board. |

analog make real sound...not digital
the fun part is that you can almost modify all the analog synth have you ever try to modify a jp8000??? lol |
