[quote author="maxwall"]I don't consider emulation progress its simply a shift in the nature of manufacturing for corporate bottom line cost accounting vs profit. That is something you can carve in stone. Did analog tape emulate anything ?[/quote]
Analog tape was concieved with simple lack of alternatives, as the need to capture sound as clean as possible (in that sense it does emulate something). Similarly compressors and EQs were concieved to help in that fight. They were all realised as tools in sound craftmanship much later.
When it comes to corporate evils, did you consider some people (like me) are simply pathologically curious gits who enjoy challenges like this?
[quote author="maxwall"]It should not be based on a software core though. None of these dependencies on upgrade after upgrade. Like software based junk.[/quote]
Again, to some, software is just a mathematical challenge, and not everybody sees it as junk. I'd say most people embrace the ease of use since it strips off a few physical constraints (while creating the same amount of mathematical ones).
Nevermind me musing about this. I just don't like these purist black and white distinctions, as they tell so little of the big picture.
