if you think about how crappy digital recording was only 15 years ago i find it hard to believe that in 10-15 years the best A/D D/A and best plugs will be so good that while it will not be the same as a studer tape machine and racks of analog eq and comps it will be just as good in it's own realistic clean quiet easy to edit way. that sweet analog "funk" may become a thing of the past tho...not the realism but the warm funk that tape imposes.

if we have lavry/prism etc now in 10 years A/D D/A should be right there...

unless the industry literally stops R+D on improving A/D and plugs....which i agree is possible w/ the popularity of mp3 but i don't think this will happen

and that sonalksis comp sounds pretty nice.....in 10 years it will be more than pretty nice...
