Digital & Analogue Audio
🎵 Real-World Examples
Vinyl records reproduce sound from a continuous groove (analogue), offering characteristic warmth and subtle harmonic colouration. CDs store audio digitally at 44.1 kHz/16-bit, providing cleaner reproduction with greater dynamic range and no surface noise.
Recorded largely through analogue equipment — vintage Neve console, valve preamps, and tape machines — to achieve warmth and character before being mixed in the digital domain. A textbook example of combining analogue and digital workflows.
Uses digital vocal processing extensively, layering Auto-Tune as a deliberate creative tool rather than a corrective one. The digitally processed, heavily quantised vocal sound is central to the track's aesthetic.
Deliberately records using analogue equipment and lo-fi techniques — valve amps, tape machines, limited track counts. His approach embraces the imperfections and character of analogue recording as a creative choice.
