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.
