Analogue In A Digital Format

[ACEtone]

'the software companies' - ooooo, the evil software companies.
Get a grip man. Seriously.
Who gives a crap about a TR-808 box? Seriously?
the reggae produced with those drum sounds was mostly pure shite in my opinion so we're talking at seriously different wavelengths.
If you're swearing by 80s tech then good luck to you but it's not my kind of sound.
The inference that I'm a 'newbie' (funny that you will appropriate rubbish computer terms like this while eschewing the humble computer) is laughable.
I honestly don't know why I encourage you by responding.
It's fun in a twisted sort of way I suppose...

A lot of people like the 808 Wackies and a lot of hip hop.

When the new tunes done through computer software are put through a Sound System they sound terrible.

If the people making tunes sound terrible on a Sound System - What`s wrong the Sound System or the way the tune was recorded!!

It seems if one was a musician there is no need to change wave forms and editing.

The singers and players of instruments.

One thing not yet mentioned is that it's more difficult to get the recording tape for the analogue side of the production process. Ampex, the most commonly used brand of tape for 1" and 2" analogue multi-track recording have already ended production on some of their professional tape formulations, and are hinting strongly that the days are numbered for the rest.

When I last recorded for vinyl and other releases, we'd start out on 2" 30 inch-per-second 24 track analogue, and only after mastering would we go to DAT. Even vinyl pressing houses want digital masters these days.

This was with a punk band, and we found that recording in as close to a live situation as possible, with every part going to an independent track gave us the best studio results. If something really didn't go well we'd overdub, but that was a rarity.

Long ramble that, but the real point is that we're running out of tape for professional analogue recording.

Peace,

James
