CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

Once again, analog is a REAL TIME REPRESENTATION OF A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE. Digital is an approximation of the same. Get it?

What in the world does that mean?

Both digital and analog can be representations of a musical performance and both are an approximation!

(And if that is a refrain of the tired old "analog captures the sound continuously, digital chops it up and misses parts" then that’s just a myth and a misunderstanding).

I think the real question here is who’s the one getting ripped off? 😬 But if you’re happy that’s what counts.

Oh, pardon me, but I didn't address your question about a digital recording made on a digital tape being a real time representation of a musical performance. No, it is not. Being digital precludes that. You must not know what the difference between digital and analog is.....let me explain. Digital is a zero or one, on / off, either / or sort of thing. Analog captures the linear nuances that digital will never replicate. Keep on biting and byting if you wish.

You apparently don’t know how digital works. Digital has the potential for much higher dynamic range and much higher signal to noise ratio than analog can ever have. If you like your music compressed and noisy more power to you.

Professor, please explain to me how chopping up the sound and missing parts of it is the same as not doing so. I must be confused.
