Hi Ken,
Sorry I misunderstood. Believe it or not we have something in common.
I too was trained as a musician, but decided that I needed to make money
so my career changed to accommodate.
Film will be with us for many years. IMO the versatility of film is
in the properties it provides, color saturation, contrast, etc.
The beauty of B&W is hard to duplicate with digital although I would have
to say that Photoshop 6.0 with added plug-ins does an incredible job.
The major benefit of film is in its permanence and portability. While I
use digital for some things, I still rely on film for most of my own work.
As to the CD v. Analog recordings I would agree in part, but IMO having a
digital recording reproduced on an analog medium like vinyl does not do
it for me. I much prefer it on digital and I happen to have a Philips
CD player with a both digital and warm outputs (I think they add
a resistor to the output circuit), but I have always used the digital
output. In the end, you are correct, it is how the recording was done
that makes the difference. I happen to be a fan of classical and there
are some recordings that are just masterpieces especially when you
have that a great performance and a savvy recording engineer that knew
where to place the microphones.
