This whole 'emulation of analog gear' circus is one big scam. There is absolutely no reason to believe that it produces a 'better' sound than a straightforward digital implementation of the required function (EQ, compression,... ) Assuming it has no obvious defects and provides the required functionality, what comes out of a DAW or digital mixer or analog mixer depends entirely on the skill and preferences of the person using it. The rest is plain nonsense. One could as well say that a writer using a $3000 fountain pen will produce better literature than one using a text processor or a ballpoint. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
