| And another thing, tech-boy....I am also of the iPod ilk, but I have a studio filled with tape machines that get more play than my digital rig any day of the week. It's been my money-maker for 10 years now and there seems to be no abandoning the analog, according to all the 20-somethings that record here and, to add insult to injury in your case, have their work pressed almost exclusively to vinyl.
There is such a thing as an artist's format, thankfully, and it has little to do with digital I'm afraid. Yes, the old consumer formats have faded, but the professional ones are valid and desperately sought out these days. Look around you, you might be missing out on something beautiful....

im sorry to piss you off... but i'm part of the ipod generation. there is reason why cassette tapes, 8-track, reel-to-reel, vhs, etc. all died as a format. digital is the way to go.

Screw off. Memontrons are for sissies. Mellotrons are reliable. Many of the people that have owned them are not. In a message dated 12/24/2009 10:59:52 A.M..
