David, by the time your recordings have matured sufficiently to quell any digital glossy artifacts you won't have a chance of comparing apples to apples. Only a Studer 1/2 track on virgin 1960's tape will do but you knew that already.

Digital is the way! I have nothing analog in my recording chain. Analog adds artifacts. That's why we use tube amps.

Hmm,
I don't remember seeing your posts about your digital pickups There's always something analogue in every signal chain.

There's something analog about reading too...

Read what I said:

Did I say "signal chain"? Can you record audio with your analog pickups?

So just to be clear… at the other end of the cable from my bass, is a analog to digital interface. From that point on the signal path is all digital, through a digital mixer and connected to my computer via S/PDIF coax.

So what you hear is the signal from the bass with nothing coloring that, unless I want to color it.
