In Reply to: I honestly don't think that is what the engineers are trying to do... posted by Presto on February 24, 2006 at 20:24:42:
but the truth is that this industry is more than stagnant, it's practically dead. There hasn't been anything really new in it for decades. Nada, no innovation, no breakthroughs, no pioneers going off in their own direction doing their own thing. I agree that people in much of it are just doing what they're told by their bosses and that recording engineers use what they have but as for equipment designers and those who brainstorm new concepts, the current crop are to put it as generously as I can, mediocre hacks reworking old ideas ad nauseum and every little new twist is a silver bullet and a revolution. It's pathetic. There really isn't much interest in it among people who have the capability to invent, they are off doing things they find far more interesting and challenging. But when the real thing does come along, it may just come from a totally unexpected direction as a complete surprise. That's how technology takes giant leaps...sometimes. When it does, the best we have now will seem as antiquated to those who embrace it as wax cylinders do to us today.
