can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio?

Hello guitarsam.  Are you related to Guitar George?  If so I understand a cheap guitar is all you can afford.  Do you know all the chords?  Do you like to make it cry or sing?

If your guitars are better than Fenders and Gibsons, why don't you build them for resale.  Could sell for more than Fenders and Gibsons and get rich.  So why not line up a manufacturer to get it to the people!

A digital hater believes that when you record AAA vinyl to digital the digits somehow add a virus that destroys the authenticity of the performance.  This occurs regardless of the sampling and bit rates used, so perhaps the DA converter or the clock is doing this evil deed.  Once added this virus cannot be removed or reversed.  So if you cut an LP from the digital signal the virus will infect the LP.

Digital lovers don't believe this.  They believe that at high enough sampling and bit rates the digital sound will approximate extremely closely to the analogue curve beyond the ability of the ear to distinguish and that it's possible to design perfect clocks and DA converters.

clearthinker your post is anything but clear? All the major guitar manufacturers deliver the same mass produced crap and then put jimmy page or eric clapton on the headstock and charge $$$$ the george harrison rosewood fender telecaster retails for $9000 and for that you get an american standard tele that retails for $600? lt's no longer about tone and playability rather convincing the public that there brand name is worth more than the guitar itself.

Why all the effort to make digital, or attempt to make digital sound like an analog lp. The answer, and the easier road to take is to just buy a good turntable and invest in LP's. I'm scratching my head.

You are correct, for the record if you dig enough into digital you will find that the more you know the more you realize all the variables involved will provide "something" and that's your virus 😉
I like and play both digital and analog and have admiration for good implemented either methods, even with the virus.

Even if you add the frequencies just the initial conversion filters IIR or FIR (simplifying), format, bits, final analog stage, Fpga or off shelf chip or ladder involved will provide its own signature.
Then when playing back the digital content you have all those variables again on a different set of hardware software. Good luck getting the same result, I went over this scenario in my head 6 months ago and decided to spend the money directly on analog and vinyl
