Somehow I like it when you hear noise disturbance comming from analog equipment or from you mixer when you reached that noise ratio equilibrium.
Especially with harder edge techno and broken beats it ads a bit character / ruffness to the sound. I don't think it sounds annoying at all.
In some digital productions you don't hear this kind (mostly) of noise at all. Result: It still sounds to clinical.
Are there any more people over here who find these kind of little issues important?
