i have mostly come to the realization that poor college/highschool/bum kids can not afford anything but a nice phat-ass computer & a very nice interweb connection.
seeing that most of us on this here board listen to "electronic" music... blah blah... idm, drum'n'bass... etc, do you think that the artists behind the music are changing the way 'most' music is played? i mean, you look at RDJ & see that when he "performs" live, he sits behind a laptop staring at it... like it will fly away or some shit... when you look at a shit butt-rock band like creed... they play their stupid songs to mind-less dumb fucks...
so...
do you think that the majority of artists enjoy analog instruments or digital instruments?

im not sure what you where getting at in the first parahgraph of your post...
but as for as the question goes...
id say any smart musician knows the pros and cons of both analouge and digital... and they use them both accordingly

digital makes your life easier....
imagine: every spund you hear would be generated be analog synths, what you d'you would hear ?:808. so it depends on different styles ? i'm sure richard has used digital and analog generators for the selected ambient works albums. sorry i'm drunken and i just write some texts from my feeling now, and i'm listeningto railwayraver now. maybe i haven't answer your question, but today have to life with both things, analog and digital. analog rule for fat sounds but it's scientifically proved that you can translate an analog sound into a digital sound..... trust me, in these day you can do everything.
and my english still sucks .

I'd say people who stay in like digital
Those who go out(side) appreciate their analogue.
Hopefully we all do a bit of both.

currently all digital for me... but its for 2 reasons...
1. not enough money to get any analouge 2. digital is alot easier to use, and can be manipulated more
i will definatly get some analouge stuff when i have the money !

um... you seem to be comparing "real" (acoustic, "play-it-yourself" instruments) as opposed to synthesised, sequenced (MIDI/computer) instruments.
I think that the majority of popular artists are trying to sound most like the "real" variety, and they prefer to use whichever technique upholds their image best (albeit, in the case of "real" bands like Metallica, with the aid of devices, in the studio or onstage, that "correct" or make more palatable their playing.)

as far as analogue or digital synths, I think the overwhelming majority of artists are using digitals - they're much more portable and practical, and can easily reproduce analogue sounds.
and me? only analogue kit I have is a 606 and I loved it until it stopped working. only other analogue gear I want is an SH-101, maybe an outboard filter, and a space echo.

Digital or analogue doesn't say anything about quality, it all depends on how well the "digital" device is programmed and how good the "analog" parts are.... Digital gear tends to be a lot more practical to use, it's cheaper and generally more flexible and versatile. So I pick digital.

I like plaids mixture, and they put it all through an analogue mixing desk to put that organic feel back in (or so they said in Future music :D)
it should never IMO come down to one of the other unless for reasons such as resources and money

I have a Juno-60. For those of you who don't know, it's a completely analog synth, except for it's digitally controlled oscillators. I feel like I'm playing a real instrument with analog sounds, but you can do some amazing things with digital.

I would like to get a Juno-106, but I want a synth that can produce strings that aren't so friggin' bassy. I want ones that make strings like in Acred Avid Jam Shred. Will a Juno Do that? If not, what synth will?

Hmmm... Analog and Digital. By the way, does anyone know which way is the RIGHT way to spell analog(ue)? Is it spelt like RDJ does it: Analogue, or like this: Analog? Hmm. Anyway, have you tried using a bubblebath with the analog??? (*joke*). Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I'm just trying to get points.

I'm sorry Marlowe, I was tired and I went to bed. Anyway, Quoth got you covered, because that's where I would've told you to go.
Juno-60s are really underated, so they sell for pretty cheap. I got mine for $300 with a stand, so yeah.
QUOTH: I love my Juno-60 as well. It's an amazing synth. =)

funny thing... a lot of digital devices have features that allow you to put analogue effects into the sound.
...like offsetting the beats to sound more natural.

still, my favourite "analogue" synth will always be my shitty, cheap poly800 :)
it can run on batteries, and its filter is monophonic and behaves a bit strangely. it's even got a 256-step sequencer. it's like the perfect keyboard for taking out into the forest with a pair of headphones!
too bad it's broken. I'll go buy another!
