Recent interview courtesy of Studio Sound (Sept 2001 issue) with Peter Eastty who has been involved with digital and analogue audio signal processing for the last 32 years ! SS : What is wrong with analogue consoles ? P.E :Not much really. If you keep them serviced , manually controlled and test that everything works every day...... SS : What is wrong with digital consoles? P.E : The more general question is "What is wrong with digital processing?" And I'm sorry to say that in some cases the answer is quite a lot. Basically it comes down to either not enough silicon or not enough knowledge, or both. There are certainly digital audio products which are engineered to superlative standards but there's also a lot of stuff, particularly inside PC s' which truncates (not dithers) the audio signal to ridiculously small internal word lengths, or doesn't interpolate coefficients, or uses on -screen controls with far to little accuracy or other basically silly techniques.
