RE: confusion again

Plenty of producers find that analog tape provides a more "natural" or perhaps I should say musical compression than attainable by most outboard equipment. And compression is a necessary part of the recording process to reduce the dynamic range of "real" life to that reproducible over the noise floors and capabilities of our systems and environments.

RvG is not the last word in musical reproduction--not for Charles Mingus and not for me. Interesting that he talks about distortion since his recordings are loaded with the stuff. Article below is interesting reading despite the clickbait title.
