Subject: Bringing this back up: Digital recording

Moleculo says:

There are still people who think they must record analog (for that good old warmth)

The warmth is nice, sure, but standard 2" analog tape will run you about $200/1000 feet (with between 30 and 50 minutes of recording time, depending on how good your engineer is). By contrast, you can record on DAT or direct to a hard-disk for a fraction of the cost. And there's all the shit you have to go through during analog mixdown, which I mentioned in another post.

I have always been comfortable with technology and recently sold my acoustic drums so now I only have my electronic set. I can pick the entire thing up with one hand and the sounds you can access are incredible and varied. all my friends are tech savy and do all their recording on their computers with creamware. New technology?? BRING IT ON!

The Christian music parody EP I'm producing is being done about 80% on my 660MHz desktop, with Finale to sequence the MIDI backing tracks, Acid Pro to mix and T-Racks to master.
It's almost all a computer; virtually the only live things on the CD will be the vocals. And you can't tell that you're only listening to synthesizer loops; it sounds amazingly like live instruments played in a physical space.
