  • I'm not really clued up on cameras, but is the film/digital debate still applicable in music?
    My friend records all his stuff in analogue because he says it sounds a lot 'warmer', and digital more 'tinny'. Maybe he's an exception, i'm not too sure..

    not any more, digital is capable of producing the warmth that everyone bangs on about these days.

    not so ten years ago, but now tape isn't used in 99% of commercial studios.

    as tynan says, good = good, whatever format it's recorded on.

    there are some great records recorded on early digital, with it's jittery bit rates and lossy compression..

    a great sound source in a great room recorded with great mics through a great pre-amp by a great engineer will be great on 2" tape or 44khz digital
