Well, I guess everything is really an analogue digital hybrid these  
days.  After all, when I record my guitar or voice, it's still going  
through an analog transfer before it becomes digital.  And then,  
whatever I do it the data once it's digital, it eventually gets  
turned back into an analogue signal so my speakers can thwack at the  
air and send me something I can hear. :)

Now that I think of it ... apart from some extremely amateur  
recordings made to cassette when I was a kid -- and of course some  
Das Ludicroix things recorded on ol' Larry's boombox -- virtually  
every recording I've ever been on or made has been principally  
digital.  Even when my first ever band went into Chris Bruce's studio  
back in the early '90s, we recorded on 24-track ADAT.  (I still have  
a demo CD from that, and if there are any problems with the  
recording, they were neither digital coldness nor overproduction --  
they were that we weren't very good! :)

Mmmm, and they produce AU versions of most of the Schwa stuff that I  
could drop into GarageBand. :)  I haven't really worked out a way to  
make good Hawkwindy swoosh-whoop noises in Garageband yet.  I keep  
hoping I can convince Scott Heller to do some stuff on his proper  
synths :)

Cheers,
Carl
