[sdiy] Is everything digital?

[Bob Weigel]

   If  a mime performed through a video bbd in the forrest....would God 
cause a tree to fall on him?  Many trees?  Heheh. 
    I dunno there are certain things where I kind of enjoy them more 
understanding the conventions that were used to build them.  As I was 
using an SDE 1000 the other day contemplating whether I wanted to sell 
it on ebay for the guy or keep it...I kind of started to enjoy using 
it.  It was a way to do things that were just technologically 
prohibitive at the time for the general consumer to think about 
posessing.  And back in the mix a little a well engineered delay like 
that does have some special qualities.  Like I say there are shortcuts 
taken in everything we even call 'real analog' and while I dream of 
making something that just goes all the way in every area...it's a 
project.  A big one. Now we can hi res digital sample and delay 
easily...but some of those artifacts that were produced in the bbd based 
things when the engineers did a job of working around them to produce a 
product that made it's way into a lot of music that people really 
dug....almost become something to seek after still. :-)   If I decide to 
keep it though  I'm going to avoid mimeing in the forrest. -Bob
