I prefer analog because it's all I know. I record into built in mic in a shitty 1994 radio/tape player.
Digital seems better and easier, though.

I like it that way. Just wish I could do more then one track. That gets pretty annoying.
The other day I was trying to record a song, but I wanted a light fuzz in the background, so I had to turn on one amp and sit the cord on something metal (too keep a constant buzz going) and then play notes with my other guitar. Like I said, a pain.

I can imagine. You can get a 4-track pretty cheap, between $100 and $150. I know, that's easier said than done, I can't afford that right now either...

I could afford one, probably. It's just not a top priority now.
And only having one track is making me strive harder to get a band together, that way we can record a song in one track.

yeah, it's such a pain in the ass to try to do everything yourself, even with a 4-track... it's so much easier when some of the work can be delgated

If I record on my computer, it sounds like shit.

If I record on this tape player I have, it sounds like shit.

I'm thinking of not recording at all.

lets not all forget that the sound will only be as good as

0. your instrument

1. your microphone / DI

2. the quality of the copper it travels down and also the quality of the plugs you have attached to the ends of the copper

3. the preamps of your desk / soundcard

4. your gain structure

5. your eq

6. your compression

with digital the better signal you get to track the less you have to use plugins.

my physical setup is all analog, then i record line in to audacity which is digital and do minimal editing, cutting out parts etc.

the cd i just finished had some tracks that were really crisp, harsh, digital sounding and i didnt like it so i transferred it onto tape from computer and then from tape back onto computer and it helped alot.

i dont fancy recording straight to tape much though cause its a pain to transfer to computer.

audacity isn't very nice to the sound, there is something going on that really makes the high freqs stick out in a bad way
