The New iRig HD
Both digital and analog recordings alike will suffer from the same problems and pitfalls if not corrected early on. While analog music finds some comfort in its imperfection, there is a limit that crosses the line into creating a terrible recording. Analog music, especially from a source like a vinyl records, is known for hisses and pops that just come with the format. These are acceptable to a limit, but once a records begins exhibiting signs of wear (like record burns), it immediately becomes noticeable what type of audio comes through. The recording will hear more noise than signal, and from here on out there is little that can be done to correct this. Digital music is not immune to this either. In fact, the upper and lower limits of a good recording are smaller and more defined than an analog one. Digital recording devices use an algorithm to process an analog signal which is then converted into 1s and 0s. Since sound to number seems like a fool-proof way to record audio (which is basically being transcribed), there are also interferences from the digital device itself that can get in the way. A high quality DAC device can mute some of these unwanted signals. http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2013/07/the-new-irig-hd-by-ik-multimedia-takes-ios-guitar-and-bass-recording-to-a-whole-new-level/
