Thoughts on the world of audio recording, mixing, and mastering.

One way to think of the difference between analog and digital is that analog is reality and digital is a replica of reality.

We’re getting very detailed and clever as to how closely we can mimic reality in the binary world, as you’ll see in this Universal Audio documentary of how the Manley Massive Passive tube equalizer was modeled in the digital domain.

Pretty impressive.
