Phil, have you been listening to Groove Armada again? ;-) "If 
everyboday looked the same, we'd grow tired of looking at each other."


Seriously, though. I've never seen anybody turn off their radio or not 
buy a CD becuase of what software/hardware was used to record the 
performance.

Oh, wait a minute, that's not entirely true...waaaaaaaaay back in the 
early/mid 80's, when CDs were a new consumer item, I was running a 
retail record store (anybody remember vinyl?) and we had a customer who 
insisted that he was holding out for the release of a 'DDD' (Digital 
Recording - Digital Mixing - Digital Mastering) version of a Pink Floyd 
album - "Wish You Were Here" to be specific - on Compact Disc.

There was no persuading him that the 'AAD' (analog recording - analog 
mixed and digitally mastered) was all she wrote. As far as he was 
concerned Capitol records was going to digitally record and rerelease 
'Wish You Were Here' - no two ways about it! No explanation of the 
recording, mixing, and mastering process was sufficient to convince him 
otherwise.   *sigh*   When someone is *that* convinced they're "right" 
there's no opportunity to learn. A little misinformation goes a long 
way...;-)
