This makes sense in a digital world where high speed internet is common.
My point is you can still buy a record, a format that is well over 150 years old, But not a CD, Which has barely been around for 40 years. DVD and Blu-Ray are also readily available and are even younger formats. I guess I should just be glad some kind of physical medium still exists. I don't really trust these all digital download and streaming things. Someday, someone else will simply decide you don't need to see or hear that anymore and snap... Its gone.
Got it. Great point. It may be time to start thinking about creating an updated 100% analog equipment / signal chain with the end point being an updated version of vinyl with greater bandwidth and fidelity or something along those lines.
It would be trivial to write a piece of software that controls a set of master reel tapes that act as multitrack dumps that can output to a final mix tape for final analog mixdown. The software wouldn't do any data processing, it would simply be a controller for the rest of the equipment.
