Damn. Now I wish I'd bought that pile of used C64s stacked in the thrift shop window that day.
its analogue components, such as the filter, which are very hard to simulate digitally.
Analog's day came, went, and will be back again ... because for sound it's just superior in -many- ways. And hacking is hardware, not software.
- mrob 8y agoWhat are those "many" ways? I can only think of one: it's easier to design good sounding analog synths/effects. The imperfections get you complexity of sound for free, and you don't have to worry about aliasing. But in a hypothetical world where everybody is a DSP genius, I see no reason for analog audio processing at all.
