Ahhghghghgh, Then we'll begin genetically engineering humans and instruments so their performances can be perfect imitations of digital. At some point we'll just pipe that experience directly into the human brain and in one horrible tragic moment, we'll accidentally create a feedback loop and everything that listener was thinking at that moment will manifest as reality. If it's a guy, the universe as we know it will metamorphose into some bizarre amalgam of Marilyn Monroe, Ana Beatriz (look her up), Scarlett Johansson, a cheeseburger and a football game. If the listener is a woman, things may be slightly more complex. And please consider, the latter may have already happened, which would explain a whole lot. It would also suggest that the creator is indeed a woman, as some people claim. ..(snip)... this calls into question the compassion of said woman/god and I demand that we roll back reality to a point where imperfect humans played imperfect instruments with sublime taste and passion and it was received by a room of inebriated listeners who had no idea what you might possibly mean when you compare analog and digital.

P.S. do you think losing sleep 3 nights running has effected me?
Yeeeeehaaaa! Now I begin to understand the universe!
I'm primarily keyboards... and the way I understand it the worse a guitar sounds the better it is... so I use sims when I pull out my 6 string.
