My god you people, the comprehension level... where to begin...
I agree with everything you say, and none of it matters... because again, you missed my whole point.
First, my initial point was, this is a non story by a hack writer here on Macrumors.
.....
Period. That's all my argument was. How can anyone not get that?
....
And as for you...
.....
my whole point is... IT IS HAPPENING. And again, the only reason I'm having to bark, is because some of you are in such denial. You once again just can't comprehend why anyone would not just shoot digital... well let me put it this way, to throw it back at you.... any monkey and his uncle can make a good picture with digital (look at all the now infamous iPhone photographers/photo-journalists getting praise for their "work") but it takes a true artist to shoot with film and make magic happen...![]()
I'll try to respond without being quite as aggressive. First of all, the two people to whom you are replying never commented on your first point, only on the second. Further, the post to which you responded:
Sure... that is the reason most studios record in high bitrate DIGITAL. Once you have converted analog to digital you stop degradation of sound. In analog though each step in the mixing process will add noise, distortion, etc.
Sorry but Analog Audio is a bit like Film Photography : Dying out and fast on its way to extinction.
was in turn responding to someone who said that "real audio" meant listening to 24-track reel-to-reel tapes, and nothing digital. Tmoerel's point was simply that that was a suspect comment, given that anyone who seeks fidelity will record digitally - a statement you would seem to agree with.
I don't see what analogue synthesisers have to do with this - apart from the use of the word analogue, they have no bearing on this discussion.
There was no need to jump on tmoerel in the first place and describe him as "clueless", and there's no need to continue to get so hot under the collar. If you agree that digital recording is generally preferable, then that's great.
And to be honest, while Foo Fighters may be recording using analogue techniques I don't really see that this constitutes a resurgence in analogue audio - given that Quantegy is the only manufacturer of reel to reel tape any more (they do one manufacturing run a year, and a reel will set you back over $500), and given that Tascam ceased manufacture of its last recorder over 20 years ago, I think it's a bit of a push to say analogue recording is making a comeback. I just don't see where all the aggression comes from - don't forget that you're the one who began by jumping down someone else's throat and calling their post "full of cluelessness", for frankly, no good reason.
And anyway, this is meant to be about headphones, and what Apple stock in their online store; we got onto this because of a throw-away line which really should have been left. As I will now.
