What a nonsense article. Shareholders have never motivated workers in any way, so this is like saying, “Water is wet.” Then they quote some Tiktok crap?
Companies catering to shareholder whims and the demand for perpetual share value growth are the reasons why many companies go to shit when eventually that growth comes from layoffs, worse work conditions etc.
Pay your workers fair wages, offer a good work/life balance and keep them happy to work for you and they will go above and beyond.
Analog connections are very universal. You don’t need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.
While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn’t matter that much with modern hardware.
