Im glad you understand my argument at least, but analogue is indeed objectively sonically better than digital. Just compare Vinyl Records to MP3 versions, and the argument should end there. Or compare 10 similar tracks made with Analogue equipment to 10 tracks made with only software, and 9 times out of 10 you will pick the Analogue sound in a blind test. I think there is an objective difference, I mean even low kbps music on Youtube that was made with Analogue equipment sounds better than a 320KBPS purely software made track you can get off beatport. Majority of the tracks I hear off Beatport dont do anything for me, because they were likely made only on software, which is why we have this problem with the increase of shitty music that buries the good music out there. Software is a means to an end, but not the best. To furthur elaborate on my argument, good music, actually.... brilliant music can be COMPOSED or written through software, by you or anyone here, but that brilliant SOUND that you hear in old records still cannot be achieved purely through software. And this why I'd like to see people getting more into hardware, EDM music would improve greatly because of it. |
but sounding "better" is subjective. Wouldn't digital sound better because it is more exact and precise? depends on what you like, anyways, i guess a lot of people think it sounds cold because it is too exact, missing that "human" feel, like sequenced drums, but whatever, dude its up to the listener. sometimes, i like the soft sound of fruity loops (its almost innocent, weird haha), just for listening though.

Like which ones? And even if they were'nt, that doesn't mean there wasn't an analogue compressor or reverb processing the sound, or a analogue console summing the mix. The thing about TRANCE music, it is a form of EDM that software does have a fighting chance because of how busy the music is, it is a bit of a mirage, there is so much going on that the sum of the parts becomes more important than individual great sounds. Still the best sounding Trance 90s and early 2000s, likely was heavily made with Analogue equipment, the DROP in quality has occured in the past few years because of the rise in software use to make music. A lot of people on TA hate trance music these days, I wonda wonda wonda why? Because its easy to make trance with software and sell it because of how busy the music is, hiding the individual sounds weaknesses, but that emotional and mind impact is still lost in translation, dropping the quality of the music.

and how do you know if they were done completely without hardware?
