My main quarm was, when i last went to get some tracks vinyl mastered over the past couple of months featuring various tracks from different producers, the engineer could obviously spot the 'digitally' produced tracks from the more 'real' sounding tracks just by looking at the waves and spec analyser. Before this was actually cut, the power and clarity of the 'digital' sounding tracks lacked punch. Questions were thrown in the air about using plug'ins etc on these tracks, and they obviously were.
This was the main reason for starting the thread.
