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.

I've found that when I put my mixes down to 1/4" two track it really captures the broad , well defined huge soundstage that comes out of my mixer. When I put the same mixes back into digital, even with good converters, it sounds MUCH flatter than the mix did when coming through my console. The tape also adds something more to the sound which even the console doesn't have.
BT"W, this is a great thread if you take out all the insults.
