Ok, ScottJ's idea is a great one, and sure, I appreciate the
possibilities
of the AudioEngine about as well as anybody -- I'm a (digital) computer
scientist after all, three decades now. But the buzz on this list is
starting
to scare me.
I hope that Paul S doesn't abandon the great world of Analog Audio
entirely. That's why I got into this hobby and what I love about it.
Yes,
actually, I think here in the 21st century the most practical way to get
any desired audio result is by computing it digitally. But to me, that
just
is Not As Much Fun.
Paul, say it ain't so!
