Members ChitownTerror Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 It all depends on what you're talking about and what you're using it for. Analog reverb, for example, is rapidly falling behind digital, especially if you're into shoegaze/ambient music. It just is too limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I prefer the pristine detail of digital delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Especially if a lot of things are ringing together. If I play arpeggiated stuff, digital has detail that cuts through and the attack is maintained. If I could have analog where the first repeat isn't rolled off so dramatically that would be perfect. I can get the AD999 pretty good but not as clean as the dd3 that sits next to it on my new board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 i think digital delay is better in a live situation. analog gets lost. A digital delay in front of an amp sounds infinitely worse than a analog delay in front of an amp IMO. in the effects loop is a completely different story though..

Members angelhair0 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nothing in particular, really. I was interested in responses concerning many effects. I Kind of agree with Nitefly.. I PREFER digital delay, but analog delay is a nice effect when needed. But other than that, the warmness of analog is something I've learned to prefer over the years. My dad is a tech nerd, and is a sound engineer doing modern music kinds of bands. So, I grew up thinking Digital was good and Analog was old, outdated, and bad. Not anymore, not after comparing. And Telephant, I totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeon Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 It isn't either or. Which is appropriate depends on the context of use. I have analog pedals and rack gear. I have digital rack gear. All of it has its place. All can sound good or bad depending on how it is used. I prefer that which sounds good. cheers,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitownTerror Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Also, I'd like to point out how much easier digital recording is than analog. I never want to splice tape again in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members desertlimosine Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 As far as Delays go, I prefer Digital, as it allows me to do looping and longer delay times, like the DL4. I love the longer times, the effects on them (echo park switch with tape, analog, and digital), etc. I do have one analog delay in my setup too, which is for short reverb like delay. But I would take my looper over any analog delay any day. But that is largely based on the styles I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veil Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Also, I'd like to point out how much easier digital recording is than analog. I never want to splice tape again in my life. Seriously.Look, I know analog recording sounds awesome. Everyone knows this. But I can't even tell you the kind of freedom digital gives me. Cutting, pasting, effects, undoing. It lets me to take way more risks, because I am not afraid of losing a performance forever. And greater risks often mean a better pay-off in results. I love digital recording and I don't care what anyone says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scott_335 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I prefer my 80 dollar digital magicstomp to having to spend much more on a bunch of analog phaser, chorus, flange, and other weirder effects. Then again i hate how the magicstomp colors my tone so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And greater risks often mean a better pay-off in results. I love digital recording and I don't care what anyone says. Plus, there are ways of giving you an analog feel to digital recordings. I'm a big fan of lo-fi stuff, but honestly, digital is far cheaper and easier to use than traditional lo-fi recording techniques these days. And, there's increasing ways of achieving similar aesthetic results with digital recording as in analog. It's not 100 percent yet, but it's getting closer.
