AI can churn out tracks in seconds, but it skews the waveforms, flattens the harmonic content, and adds noise that you can't taste without a good set of headphones. I’d say it’s a shortcut that cuts out the human nuance that gives music its soul. Sure, it’s cheap, but it compromises the exactness of a waveform. If you want pure, unfiltered sound, keep the analog chain. It’s a little like using a cheap mic instead of a condenser—looks fine on paper but the detail dies. And remember, the first time a human engineer tweaked a circuit, they were looking for that little hiss that makes a recording feel alive. Stick with that.

Glad to hear it. Keep the hiss humming, tweak the filters, and never let the click of a cursor erase the subtle swell of a real waveform. The true edge is in the tiny imperfections that humans still cherish.
