I do prefer analog, but I'm pretty sure there are many producers who use a combination of analog drum machines with digital synths, or vice versa. I know some who connected the x0xb0x to their DAW (e.g. Ableton) and it sounded great and genuinely Acidic, unlike so many digital 303 clones I've heard. But at the end of the day, of course it comes down to personal preference.

Originally posted by Robotrance i guess youre right. i guess most "pro" people use hardware and either expensive mixers and a good adc or a multichannel adc for recording each instrument and mix in the box. in a studio that makes sense when recording voice, guitars and even real drums through mics. synths is a different matter imo. i really dont care. for me as a "synth-and-drummachine-only" musician working inside the box fits me better and i dont loose anything imo, very least sound quality. I actualy believe I gain it by not introducing dynamic reducing and noise generating devices in any chain. directly programmed wavs if you will.

math sounds a lot worse than current...

Fuck, this is going on in two threads simultaneously;

There is a difference with analogue in that the signal itself is of an analogue source and never cut in 44,100 slices and regurgitaed until recorded. I think you can say you produce in analogue if there is no conversion or digital signal creation until to go to record the final product. Anything other than that, and you're not analogue.

Again, see the other thread for Bob Moogs eloquent analogy with light bulbs as to where the difference is in digital vs analogue signals.

Oh, and on the subject of cars, fuck Hydrogen. My former boss here in LA was give then the very first Hydrogen BWM as a gift from them. He sent it back after two weeks. The big energy companies are desperate to make hydrogen work because they want a drug they can repeat sell to you, just like oil.

Unfortunately, it's incredibly dangerous as a compressed gas - the gas tank on that BMW had to be so heavily reinforced that it was 25% of the car's weight and they had to beef up everything else to compensate. It meant a 7 series weighed 2.5 tons. That's more than a Mercedez SUV.

It also took 3 straight weeks to make the titanium reinforced fuel tank on the production line, and therefore it was calculated that even if you drove the damn thing every day for 30 years, in terms of emissions, you would not recoup the energy spent to make just the fuel tank.

I hate Hybrids - Nothing more than a placation for the oil companies who told the car companies not to cut them off by switching fully to electric.

They found the very first Porsche recently in a barn in austria. It was from the late 1800's. Guess what? Yep, Electric.

Digital is better when it comes to cars (unless it's vintage )

I don't. I listened to a bunch of mixes made on vinyl then some made with CD (many of the same tracks from the same period) and danm, the vinyl mixes were so much nicer on the ear.

It may be that I'm conditioned to like the curve on the RIAA preamp, but If loving the preamp, is wrong, I don't what to be right.

On a serious note, I'm glad to hear that.

You know def right but buying a cutter is alot of mula mula. I know you know that most of the good stuff comes out digital, so i'm stuck and use to it thas all. Bottom line cdjs doesn't have the feeling of a turntable thas what i believe.

fuk it thats itm i spent 10 hours trying make my analog gear up to par with my digital rendering of the wip i just did and it was a complete waste of time. ebay timeeee@!

Originally posted by Robotrance you realized that you just rout out and in again without adding anything?

Thats not what i mean't. I just wanted to justify my purchases and i feel let down. I'll keep the bass station 2 for midi key but i'm done.

Originally posted by Robotrance what hardware synths have you left now?

I have the kawai k5000 which isa behemoth of a keyboard, selling that and the dx7 thats for keeps. The TR8 hmm keeps too

don't forget treatment, musty,

Soft clipping 4 life. Slapping on a tube emulation, or basically any sensible type analogue emulation in the mix is also great.
