There was a story recently about music companies being sued because it turns out their audiophile editions of vinyl records were typically pressed from digital sources (to save money, even though audiophile pressings were being sold for many times the price of regular ones), rather than through a fully analog chain.
Yeah, and the entire debate is moot since the cutting needle uses a digital offset when its cutting anyways even if it is from the master tape.
Its not analog or digital. Its the care and thought that was put into it. It just so happens that usually more care and thought is put into it when its analog.
I also prefer physical media of any type. Of course records are peak, theyre large enough to store great artwork and can sound very very good. They have a benefit of physically not being able to be brickwalled be some mixing engineer that’s being screamed at by the marketing team to clip the mix bus so its loud as fuck and has no dynamics.
