Not to stir the pot, but I've been practicing making tracks with a
computer for 12 years. In that time I've come up with 3 tracks I felt
confident about putting on vinyl, and I've had 3 or 4 tracks on
Internet comps. Terrence Parker took one of my tracks for his
'Maximum Ice' CD, for which I

Record your mixdowns to a reel to reel. Or better yet, cut it to a 78

new gear.
It sounds like you've been listening to the wrong records. You don't
have to convince me that analog recordings sound nice, but anyone who

And they were doing it before there was anyone telling them how to do
it. They had to master an unwieldy, complicated instrument, and make
it sing. And there was always that moments of excitement in the track
that would be irretrievable if the DA30 ate the DAT.

I agree with martin this whole laptop or computer music is not as warm
sounding as analogue gear is a compleatly irrellivent argument.
I have ehard tracks made using all sorts of tools and its not the tools
that make some thing warm or cool soundings its the maker ... the person

show me a 100% pc-made trak that would sound even close to rod modell's

speaking of rod - any of his traks on ecchocord.

i dont know about his whole audio signal circuitry but i remember he was
using a digital jd800 as sound source for many of his track..
it aint deepchord,but still much more ear pleasing

That's because you're listenting to two different mastering pipelines, dude.
Record the tapes to CD and they'll sound identical.
Otherwise, I've got a $6000 power
I'd cite some of Lusine's work, and Jan Jellinek, and Fennesz Endless
Summer, but you might not like them, or hear the musicality and
warmth I do in them.
I love the way cassettes sound too -- but then I end up digitizing that sound.
Sad fact is everything goes through a computer at some point.

You should print the thread and read it on paper, that will add some

IMHO it's best to use best of both worlds. For pure sound analog sounds
better than software, but software can do some things that no analog
hardware

kano - it's a war (serge santiago edit)
Don't try too hard to fight the tool you are using. Keyboards came
out and people did try to use them to make 'real' sounds, and as the
technology progressed they were able to achieve that to some degree--
that's when old-school analog came back into fashion People
started to celebrate
