pffft really? what difference does it make. plays the same. if i were to buy vinyl it would serve no purpose except for the look of it, and im not the appearance seeking type. im sure it prob does sound warmer on a good set of monitors that reproduce sound to exactly how the artist wanted it t sound. but on my stereo the mp3's and my old vinyl all sound the same. sure if i had some spare scratch and some spare time id hunt for some bargains, but really if i could pay $20 for the same release i can get for $5, in my present sitch id go the $5 anyday of the week. the only vinyl i would consider is shit i cant get, like a good old hiphop 12inch with the instrumental, acapella, dub mix and shep pettibone. i feel no shame in using whats available to me. guess what my car plays cds and has a button to roll down the windows, and i love it. do you feel ashamed creating music using software?
