Curious lang ako kasi ang dami kong nababasa na kesyo mas maganda ang Analog o Mas maganda ang Digital pagdating sa pag rerecord ng kanta/album. Tulad na lang ng huling album ng Foo Fighters na nirecord nang 100% Analog.
Ilang lang sa mga nabasa kong dahilan ay pag analog, mas maganda ang tunog at pag digital naman ay mas praktikal.
Kayo mga sir. Kung sakaling libre o may sasagot ng gastusin sa pag rerecord nyo ng album, anong mas pipiliin nyo?
Analog o Digital??? at bakit?? :?

It depends on to what extent of analog / digital you are refering.
Most people these days use analog preamps/ effects fed to a digital recording set up.
But if you are referring to pure analog recording as in tapes... for my opinion still the best in terms of wholeness of the sound. But not the best in terms of details of the sound. Plus the wear and tear factor in the equipment.
Digital also has several extent of "digitalness". Nandyan ang digital tapes such as adats and dats. Or the most common set up today: hard disk.
Technically it also depends on to what sound you really want to achieve in your music. So its not really a question of digital or analog. Para kang nagtanong kung ano ang masarap na asin sa isang lutuin, refined or rock salt. Depende din un sa kung ano ang lulutuin mo.
Still we have to take in mind, however digital we go, we still have to bring it back to analog in order to hear it. In fact the sound started as an analog thing.

Tapos i-play back natin yung album sa mga digital devices natin. :-D
For capturing/recording mas okey talaga analog, then editing/mixing on digital domain and ect... my 2 cents is just fuse the two to get a better outcome. :cool: :cool:

use at the same time...
pero ano bang pagkakaintindi mo sa ANALOG? at DIGITAL?
or maybe you mean: Outboard vs. Plugins???

Ibig kong sabihin sir yung sa Recorder mismo. yung reel to reel tape. :-D. May mga artist kasi na hindi maiwan ang Reel to reel Analog tapes like Arctic Monkeys, RHCH, Foo Fighters, White Stripes etc...
Naisip ko lang kung sa banda nyo kaya mangyayari? Anong mas pipiliin nyo sa dalawa? At why :wink:
Yung sa foo fighters pla ibig kong sabihin na 100% analog kasi hindi talaga sila gumamit ng kahit anong computer. As in Recorded and mixed talaga yung mga kanta sa analog hanggang sa pag press ng mga Vinyl LP.

Recording and mixing in pure analog; master in digital.
ALBUM SALES: 0

pag dumaan po sa computer ang tracks, considered as digital na, which means, this days, mostly considered as digital recording na, kahit may analog components pa sa tracks..
btw, if 100% analog devices pa din gagamitin ngayon, masyadong mahal..
hope it helps :-D

i prefer the one that's within my (very limited) budget :-D

So how did you listen to the album? Via CD or mp3?

Pag sa bahay sir CD / Flac pero pag sa labas ng bahay (ipod) AAC. :-D
Di ko kasi naabutan yung kasikatan ng Vinyl kaya namulat ako sa cassette tapes. Meron din po siguro akong humigit kumulang 70 CDs (Orig) at plano ko rin mag collect ng Vinyl. :-D
Tungkol naman sa foo fighters sir. pagkakaalam ko po Analog source din yung ginamit na master sa pag press ng Vinyl.. Ewan ko lang po kung anong ginamit nilang master sa CD. :-)

Vinyl is nice but is a bear to clean esp. when it gets dirty. We used to have a sort of hollow brush that I would load with water and have it track the vinyl at the same groove as the needle - kept dust to a minimum. Scratches and skips, however, that's another story.
Thing about records is that you have to be particular about the type of needle and tracking weight, etc, etc. but pair it with a good amp (ours was a Sansui 5000A) and some good 3-way speakers (dad built some huge folded horn baffles and loaded it with Pioneers)... sounded awesome.
With tape, esp. open reel, you had to be particular about the type of tape, head alighment and tracking speeds. Faster ips meant better highs but less songs to squeeze into a standard 7" reel, and those 1800 feet tapes could be prone to breaking and stretching. For cassettes, I always loved chrome or metal formulations. Rewinding from the end of a open reel was always a chore.
All in all, I miss those times. Editing, however is another story.

I don't miss splicing tape, be they 1/4" half-track or 2" 24-track.
