JJkizak Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 PBS show Wired Science did an indepth comparison between analog and digital with four people with supposed gifted ears with tracks of digital/analog mixed and they only got it right 55% of the time. The big deal recording/mixing engineer said the differences are now so minute with the new analog simulation software it's almost impossible to tell the difference.

billybob Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 The analog person has the only remaining, completely analog recording studio in the U.S., if I heard correctly. Was said by digital guy that early CD repros were on the crappy side (my words). Would still prefer analog sound, recording/editing over digital as a template for music. Being dragged screaming between the older and newer tech. Would also like average non-expert listeners, in a controlled test situation, to see if they can detect the, some say more than subtle diff. Interesting show.[co][~] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I know Tony Levin has been pushing his circle of friends to record in Analog. His studio in NY is all Analog. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan krajewski Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yes I saw the show and just as I suspected, and much to the chagrin of many - time do march on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
