""For many of us, and certainly for many of our artists, the vinyl is the true version of the release," said Matador's Patrick Amory.
I might buy the logic if things are being tracked in studio on 2" tape, instead of directly to some pro tools rig with a bunch of "analog re-production plug-ins".
(Why the junk record something digitally with pristine uncompressed quality, then run it through a $598 plug-in to make it sound "more warm"? Talking the whole song, not individual effects on vox/guit/drums etc...)
I acknowledge there's definitely a difference in sound quality...but differ on the point that it has to be an analog/digital only difference. Any live engineer will tell you the massive sound differences between a Soundcraft, Yamaha, or Midas analog consoles, even with every other component remaining the same in chain.
Warm and "analog" (British), to Black smithery American, to somewhere (more honestly) in between the two.
If "to the artists Vinyl is the true version of the release", then I would expect them to be going the route of the AAA, and not the present DDA when going through production.
