ABSTRACT

The recording community of today has the most superior equipment, studios and processing power. Almost everyone now has access to pieces that were once only accessible to those who were lucky and talented enough to work in the great rooms around the world such as Abbey Road, Olympic, United Western or Sunset Sound, to name just a few. Anyone can load a $20k Fairchild 660 to every single channel of the DAW. While I believe the digital emulations are somewhat ‘apples and oranges’ compared to their analog counterparts, I do somehow prefer the consistency and reliability of digital plugins.
