Something I see more and more on forums

I sure Am glad I don't have to fuss with a 4 track cassette machine no more.... but I was a lot more creative when I did.

I sure as hell wasn't. Hated that hiss so much I stopped bothering with recording at all, even though I had nothing to compare it with. Getting a DAW, meagre as it was at the time, opened a whole new world to me!

Although it was low tech I had to work harder at getting things right which kept me on my toes and your right the hiss was bad. I got me one of those new fangled DBX boxes(in the day) and it helped some. These days it's matter of looping and Quantizing so no need to rerecord a bad take. Although I'm more happy with the results these days I still Romanticize about how well those old sessions came out when compared to some of the stuff I put out these days. There ARE some great tools available these days no doubt.

Perhaps they could make a DAW where the sound quality became progressively worse with every take (like on tape). That way you'd have an excuse to keep a good but possibly improvable take!

I think the only way would be to not allow any editing what so ever.... but then no body would buy it.

This statement:
OP: "I bought X recording gear/instrument/amp etc. and it sounded so good my friend thought I had used samples/emulation etc.
These are weird times or what?
That's why I don't go on forums.

The only way it would make sense would be if samples and emulators were actually more expensive than amps/pianos/mixing consoles/compressors/tape machines/what have you...

I never post anything original on forums. I only use samples of conversations found on forums and loop those.

No, but we changed his quote to say that.
