Yes, and maybe that's the most important value of the Digitals.The convenience of digital is very powerful.
All sources of real music are ultimately analogue. The question is simply where (and whether) they get converted into digital for safe storage and propagation before they get converted back to analogue for our ears.
Absolutely correct, sir!
not really correct: it means that electronic music is fake music ?
Maybe it is...who knows ?
Ehm, umh...some controversies in my mind : when I'm singing a tune in my head...are the neurons controlled by electric impulses so I'm on digital playback mode ?
And yesterday I was on my 5 minutes " opera mode" and my voice was very charming and I could play even the vibrato ! But yesterday night I couldn't reach the higher notes of She's Leaving Home...after many years of living lone !
So today I woke up with Dr.Dre tune in my head : " If you wanna make noise, make noise..."
I hate my digital side

The delay of the A/D process is not acceptable for Radio and Television.
Then why do radio and TV in fact use digital (and have done for years)? An audio ADC need introduce no more than a few 10's of uS delay, a video ADC considerably less than that.
ADC/DAC is the easy and fast bit. The hard/slow bit is coding (perceptual or lossless), interleaving and error correction which then require significant buffering. If it has to go over a radio link (e.g. broadcast, or radio mike) then FFT to/from COFDM may be needed too. The result is a significant delay.abraxalito said:Then why do radio and TV in fact use digital (and have done for years)?

The delay of the A/D process is not acceptable for Radio and Television. Even the shortest delay is detectable (and annoying) when wearing headphones or earpieces.
Say what?!
I think he may have meant unacceptable for radio mike use? Or any other situation where close synchronicity is required in real-time.
That is exactly what I meant. Even the shortest delay can be quite annoying when listening to your microphone through headsets.
DPA Microphones :: Digital wireless and mics reports a delay of 3 to 5ms for a digital microphone.
Analogue radio mikes are still widely used. In the UK they were recently moved to a new frequency range, which annoyed some people.
