Yet analog mixers are rarely used anymore by touring acts. Why?? Because the sound quality is excellent on the digital boards AND you get a long list of other benefits (total recall, onboard FX, simple routing, easy recording of show, etc). Analog is dead. In a few years the live digital boards will sound the same as the best analog ones (studio ones already do). But this doesn't really speak of the surface noise a Studer 24 track reel to reel machine or a needle on a record imparts (pure destruction).

I find it thrilling to capture musical ideas as they are being created. Less STDs too.
