Analog vs Digital: Let’s Clear Up the Confusion

I’m thinking about doing a video breaking down some of the biggest myths around analog vs digital audio — because a lot of people seem to be talking past each other.

This isn’t about “analog is better” or “digital is better.”
It’s about understanding what these two things actually are.

So here’s a quick, no-nonsense breakdown.

Analog Signals

Continuous
Analog signals are infinitesimal — there are no steps, no rounding, no discrete values.

They are the waveform
Analog audio is the natural electrical representation of sound produced by real sources and moving through real physical media.
Every vibration, every micro-change in amplitude and phase exists as part of the signal.

In other words:
Analog isn’t describing the wave — it is the wave.

Digital Signals

Quantized
Digital audio is made up of discrete steps. Amplitude and time are both measured at fixed intervals — think stair-steps.

They represent the waveform
A digital signal is a numerical approximation of an analog one.
Because of quantization, infinitesimal information between steps is not stored.

That doesn’t make digital “bad.”
It makes it finite.

About “information loss”

Yes — information is lost the instant an analog signal is converted to digital.
That fact alone is enough for some people to dismiss digital entirely.

But here’s the part that matters:

This has been studied exhaustively.

With proper conversion, dithering, and sufficiently high sample rates, digital audio can be perceptually indistinguishable from its analog source.

That doesn’t mean they are the same thing.

Let me repeat that clearly:

Indistinguishable does not mean identical.
It means the differences fall below the threshold of human hearing.

You don’t have to take my word for it — there are countless controlled tests in academia, industry, and yes, even on YouTube, demonstrating this.

The point of this video

This isn’t about choosing sides.

It’s about understanding:

why analog behaves the way it does

why digital has to work the way it does

and why we still need both

=================================================

A quick thought experiment

If analog signals are infinitesimal, that means there are infinite points in a waveform.

Think about a one-inch line:
How many dots can you place on it?

The answer is infinite — because the distance between points can always be made smaller.

Now imagine each of those points is “data.”

How much memory would a computer need to store one second of truly continuous audio?

There’s no trick here.
Sit with that question.
=================================================

Final thought

If you’d be interested in a video that really dives into this — without hype, without nostalgia, without marketing buzzwords — let me know.

Because the truth is:
There’s no “analog or digital” future.

There’s only analog and digital.

And before anyone asks “why should I listen to you?”

I’ve got a background in both worlds:

Degree in Computer & Electronics Engineering Technology

College-level coursework in DC, AC, semiconductors, and digital electronics

Professional experience in electronics manufacturing

Associate’s degree from Full Sail University in Music Production

None of that makes my opinion immune to criticism — but it does mean this isn’t coming from vibes or nostalgia.

It’s coming from physics, math, and real-world experience.

================================================

Let me know if you guys think this would be a good video, and if I should get to it.
