sound

x: Sounds are not “analog” or “digital.”

x²: Analog envelope generators do not cause synths to sound “more analog”.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Addendum:

If you happen to like the way thing A works more than you like the way thing B works, that does not make thing A objectively better. It is the opposite of that, it’s subjective.

Likewise if thing A has features that thing B doesn’t, and thing B has features that thing A doesn’t, and you like the features of thing A and wish they were in B, that still doesn’t make thing A objectively better.

Let’s review:

harder	objective	Mohs, Vickers, or Brinell hardness scale
better	subjective	no applicable unit of measurement
faster	objective	(any measureable unit) per time unit, e.g. meters per second, gallons per hour, frames per second; OR the time to complete a standardized action (e.g. booting into Windows)
stronger	objective	maximum load that can be lifted (kg, lb, etc), material breaking strain (MPa/psi), etc.
