<<No analog nostagia here->> In an industry which is thoroughly rife with it, I have absolutely no analog nostalgia myself. But with an ear accustomed to current 24bit ADCs I'm continually amazed that the better cassette recordings, especially those with a healthy modulation level, can stand up so well alongside digital recordings, and I often mix the two in sound design projects. <<-I've always sought transparency.>> What I believe is lost on many of the younger analog fetishists is that the goal of all analog recorders & tape formulations was always transparency, & never was intentionally about compression, distortion or any notion of a mystical euphonious "glue" which "holds sounds together".
