Analogue or Digital?
#1
I heard thee is an archives of recordings and that it is done in analogue because
they say, digital isn't as "true"

I am hearing old songs done digitally and they seem "thin" {void of something

I was listening to a tape that had run out of music but was playing back the ambient sounds from the room the recording was made in.

It was quiet, noise-wise, but it was not void of feeling, or so it seemed to me.


I wonder if an experiment could be done?

We'd need recordings of "silence" impregnated with emotion
like the silence in a court room, a funeral, a wedding ..
all the silent moments that are silent because
there is a strong thought, an emotion going into it.
Like a "pregnant pause"

record the ambient sounds in a "silent" room using both digital and analogue

I'd like to prove there IS some emotion transfered via the analogue
but not digital recordings.
The remakes of songs like Motown seem to me, very sterile when "digitalized".

I wonder if emotion can be felt in that "silent prenant pause" hidden in the hiss on a [not so] blank tape?
