No matter how great we get with digital formats of instrumentation, nothing really quite duplicates the real thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a lot of formats, you can be really experimental and see what would happen.
People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.
We live in a digital world, but we're fairly analog creatures.
Analog is more beautiful than digital, really, but we go for comfort.
I don't think much about the digital world... because I am in the analog world!
The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs.
Hopefully each film can be given a musical voice of its own, which is not to say that the instrumentation is always unique, but that the relationship between the sound and the image is unique.
Digital has obviously changed things a lot, but not all for the better as far as I'm concerned. Of course it's much more convenient and you're getting instant results, but to me it just lacks the finesse of a roll of film and it has a slightly superimposed feel.
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
