Bowie's Outside: C or D?

XXP - I thought that's what you were leaning toward.

While I agree that digital audio production enables those tempted to go all in with overdubs and on-grid tendencies, I can't get behind the idea of ProTools as the sole pejorative culprit.

I do see PT used as a worrisome adverb from time to time, and while it shouldn't, it kinda bugs me, perhaps because I sit in front of it every day.

The irony is, of all the DAWs and standalone digital recording systems I've used over the years (since around the same time Outside was being recorded, funnily enough) it is easily one of the most 'tape-like' of all.

People like Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn were achieving the same over-the-top results 10 years previously with Fariights and Synclaviers, it just took much longer and required a more mathematical mindset.
