I have been disappointed with digital sound so many times.
I kind of wish I hadn't bought a computer and endless frikkin upgrades just to hear good sound and touch real faders.
I now have Mac/Logic annd a Logic control. But I have to upgrade my m-audio converters to Lynx Aurora 16 cause these ones suck the life out of my beats.
When I listen to my beats through my Mackie 1604 they sound big and in the room. Monitor through the 12 m-audio inputs and the sound goes back a few feet, sounds flat and sucks.
I am probably gonna get a nicerizer 16 and bounce to tape from the aurora 16 outs. HOPEFULLY it comes close to the live analogue monitoring sound.
Digital sounds flat. There haven't been any classic hip hop or reggae records in the last 15 years.
Even my hero DJ Premier sounds flat since he switched from tape to Pro Tools.
My Nord Lead can't make a fat bass sound compared to the Korg MS20 I used to have.
The only drum sounds I like are from the late 60's, early 70's. Or Daptone records (Sharon Jones). Oh yeah and Dangelo "Voodoo' both recorded to tape.
Digital has killed music. I like drum machines though. I like 87-94 hip hop with sampled vinyl drums. And I like drum machine reggae. But the best stuff is recorded to tape. Like Dawn Penns "No, no, no".
Radio sucks as well. I feel like everyone has lost their mind. Hip hop used to be the truth now it is a brainwashing conspiracy.
Luckily Jamaican music is still righteous. But it suffers the digital sound also.
Digital sucks. |
Whoa, cowboy.
Our friend Careyn starts a thread with his big manifesto about how anyone who doesn't agree with his
newfound devotion to analog is a tool of some kind of digital conspiracy, all a bunch of sheep, suckers, etc.
And that makes the people who Careyn is slagging off
"internet bullies"?
How the heck does
that work?
So... then...we have to hear your tale of woe. Sounds like a bummer. I feel for you.
But... let's get this straight...
Just who the hell twisted your arm, held a gun to your head, and forced you to give up all this great analog gear you apparently used to roll?
Blame that guy.
Not the rest of the world. Not me.
Me, I came up in analog studios, on tape, in my own time built my own 4 track rig (going through three 4 tracks in a decade) into an 8 track 1/2" project studio -- but when I couldn't keep that 8 track rig running properly long enough to fill up a whole reel, I made the switch to digital tape and a half decade later, to DAW. And, guess what? From
my experience, and with my point of view, I liked digital. I got a lot done. And it sounded a lot
better to me
.
But -- get this -- did I hold ever hold a gun to
your head trying to get you to switch? I think not.
If you were weak or gullible enough to give up something apparently so great for something that strikes you as so manifestly
inferior -- just whose fault is that?
Not mine, ace.
Not mine.
