“Digital recordings make non-linieraties optional” this is such a beautiful way to look at it, because it explains why it explains exactly why digital is better than expensive analog gear: Digital is “perfect” fidelity by default, and gives as much control over the sound as you want. But this perspective also highlighted how there is still a considerable amount of skill involved in working with digital audio to get it to sound good. (Btw I am not dismissing analogue as bad, I am sure that’s also great)

@Bittamin Год назад

If you got money to burn go for it is how I feel about it. Digital all the way for me though. If somebody gave me a Juno 60 I would use the hell out of it though

@milosmilosmilos 11 месяцев назад

The problem with digital is the sweet-spot. Pushing a digital distortion, for example, becomes very messy very quickly. On (good) analog gear the sweet-spot is much wider ie you can push it further without it starting to become wonky. Same goes for (good) analog synths and drum machines. The sound is more fat, full etc from the get go. For producers this makes a difference as you have a limited amount of energy for every project. Once you spend that energy you only start making bad decisions and running things into the ground. Everyone who has ever made music has experienced this. This is why going for analog whenever making music that requires more extreme things like over the top distortion, big sounds etc. saves energy and allows you room to be more creative with music, rather than spending your precious mana on creating 5 chains of saturation to achieve what you would with one turn of a knob on something analog. Both worlds have their advantages but some things seriously take the cake in each world. I vote analog for harmonic abuse. All that said, Saturn is pretty damn good. ;)

@djn48 Год назад

The more audio production videos I watch, the more I realise that "sounding better" is just giving the audience what they expect. There are no "correct" ways that things should sound, there are only sounds that people expect to hear. Hence I agree with Dan's cultural preference idea.

I use saturation on all my drum busses to round off the peeks without having to compress too much. That way I can remove about 1db - 3db without losing any of the loudness characteristics I like

For those who like me were wondering what DAW he's using at the end (eg at 13:25), it's called Reaper. I literally just googled screenshots for all the DAWs listed on Wikipedia until I found it. I'd never heard of it, it's obviously a smaller and less well known one, and pretty cheap (non-commercial license is $60). But if it gets Dan's approval, I might have to check it out!

@nsjx 5 лет назад

To (my) ears, I enjoyed the horn ensemble without saturation more, mainly because I dig the 'bite' of the horns in the upper part of the spectrum. I used to play trumpet. A good live horn section sends chills down the spine.

@AlessandroRorato 3 года назад

Sometimes adding saturation causes the fundamental volume to decrease. Which is great when peak control is needed. But ... why does this happen? Why does the fundamental decrease its volume?
