Actually, I'm about 40% digital-centric and 60% analog. I just find most
digital stuff on the boring side.
I do like programming microprocssors, though. Helpls pay the rent.
MOTM uses digital stuff when it makes the most sense. Don't worry, no
Nord-type stuff for MOTM!
Analog is more appealing because for one, it's more visible. Meaning, you
can look at a pcb and
appreciate what is going on. All chips look the same on the outside :)
If you've ever looked inside ultra-high-end audio stuff (Krell, Accuphase,
Mark Levinson) you will
see what I mean. It's all overpriced by 2X (ebay is one place that has
∗good∗ prices for this sort of stuff)
but the build quality is eye-popping.
