^^analog doesn't automatically mean 'hiss, crackles, pops, and hums'

Quite. My Minimoog from '74 is one of the quietest pieces of equipment I own, more than my digital synths by far. When I hook it up to my monitors, it can go from absolute dead silence to BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP in no time flat

Though in the grand scheme of things, maybe its not missed when the mix is said and done, especially if its going to be down-converted to MP3 or something.

The tone's still going to be there, unless you're converting it to less than 128 CBR. Then it starts going down the shithole :p

In a digital age does anyone care for 'analog warmth' inevitably all music will go through some digital processes which will take away most of the 'analog warmth' so why argue?

The point is not to keep the entire signal path absolutely analog, it's to change and color the tone, methods till be audible past any A/D and D/A conversion.

Man, twelve pages and still going.. if nothing else, this post proves that mastering , and all this analog thing is close to people's hearts, one way or another.

Nah, I don't really give a crap. I just read threads like this for entertainment value.

Bring on the bitcrushers and the MP3 encoding!
