I met someone, who said he was in the final years, being with The Flames. I may know one or two of those stories!
One that is well known and documented, is when James went out looking-and gunning for-Joe Tex! Chris

Didn't watch the video. Don't know the dude or anything about him. I realized a long time ago that most of these types of vids are just folks opining from places of ego, from profit(click revenue, pay-to-review, free stuff for favorable reviews, etc), or worst of all, from both. Much like anything online these days you have an open pulpit, you have a preacher, and you have the masses whose agreements echo, and those who disagree who are banned, discouraged from posting or otherwise silenced through downvotes or defensive interactions with fans of the mouthpiece or the outcome of the review. It generally serves to filter out the negative (the arguably more constructive) responses so that the preacher only gets positive reinforcement, further bolstering their ego and the belief that they and their opinion are important and correct. I mean c'mon, you gotta be pretty full of yourself to make videos of yourself jabbering on and on about stuff and thinking you can make money doing it. But anyway, I don't think emulation of analog tones is "perfect" but then again I've very much relaxed my own ego and eased off the demand for perfection (or what I perceived as perfection). At some point I bought into the whole "has to be perfect to be used" thing, but I now just see things as *tones* to be used if they fit my needs. So I don't worry about these things anymore and I'm much happier. If it sounds good, then it sounds good. If it sounds bad, then it's bad. Sometimes the bad sound can work good, and sometimes the good sound doesn't work and is therefor bad. Regardless, I think folks should master what they have first and I'd bet they don't go scouring the earth looking for perfection and wasting their time and money doing so. Don't let the facts stop you... You couldn't be more wrong. He's one of the younger engineers in a well established studio that has a nearly analog setup. They use all the real gear you guys drool about. Just the final stage is digital. He's certainly not always right. He's human. But in this case, he's got a point. Not because of oversampling, but because of this: One of the things that separates a good mic from a mediocre mic, is it's off-axis behaviour. How could any emulation plugin influence that with a mediocre mic as input? Besides, he's got a Neumann desk. You gotta believe a guy with a Neumann desk, no?
