research (some we've done at my place of work included) has shown this to be
very much the case and lots of what people perceive as being the "harsher"
sound of digital just being the highs still present that vinyl leaves out.

Interesting that - I knew of quite a few people who did it but didn't know
of they did.  For definite?  On all records or just a few?
Reason I think it interesting is how dope that stuff sounds coming straight
off Scion's laptops (and to a certain extent, though not quite as much, on
the CD of this) - something I'd always put down to it being straight high
quality digital direct to the system.
Wonder if they use the records digitised and it sounds so dynamic as they're
putting loads of effects on or if they have bits and pieces from earlier in
the process of the records creation?
Anyway they make the best argument for using Ableton I've heard!

Hear hear! (Friday gag) z and Tim.
Different types of reproduction all distort the original sound - just in
different ways.

Guilherme - consider yourself trounced.  Or if you wish we can continue this
one in person next week - in sunny Greece!!! (I'm excited in case you can't
tell).
