I was wondering what the adverb for "analog" (BrE analogue) would be.
I've tried 'analogally', 'analogly', 'analogolistically', and
'analogitifically'. Nothing sounds right to me, especially the last
two (as humorous as they may be).
Is it just analog?
Example: "I can't believe they produced the drums analog!"
That doesn't sound right to my ear. Hmm.

Google finds a few hundred hits for each of the spellings "analoguely" |
and "analogly" used in contrast with "digitally".
There are a few hits in which "analogly" is used to mean "analogously".

I can't think of a word that sounds natural in that context. I would
probably say 'with analog', or 'in analog' or 'using analog'.

Can someone explain what this means, please? Is it talking about using
real drums vs. creating synthesized drum-like sounds, or is it talking
about recording real drums with one sort of equipment or another? By
which I would imagine it means old-style recording equipment vs. modern
digitizing equipment?
The word "produced" is partly what throws me. Is it supposed to be the
same as "recorded"?

I'm also not quite sure what was meant. I think it would mean real
versus synthesized drums. Pure analog would mean using real drums, and
only analog recording means, such that the nothing is ever digitized,
and it couldn't even be put on a CD, which is digitized. I don't think
anyone would try to do that these days. But I see the problem with
'produced', which would sort of suggest 'synthesized'. There were
analog synthesizers in the 70s (maybe there still are), so drums could
be produced or synthesized digitally or by analog means.

I believe they are referring to the means of recording. My Steve Martin "A
Wild and Crazy Guy" CD is stamped AAD. Congratulations on your second big
award, Steve. The following explains the difference between analog and
digital ratings given on CDs.
From http://www.faqs.org/faqs/AudioFAQ/part3/:
10.27 How do the letters ADD on my CD relate to sound quality?
The simple answer to this question is that there is no relation
between the three letter code and sound quality. Those three
letters refer to the recording and mastering tools used in
making the CD.
The first letter refers to the recording process. For example,
a disc labeled ADD was ANALOG recorded, where a disc labeled
DDD was DIGITALLY recorded. Analog recording means that some
form of conventional analog tape recorder was used, whether it
be a two-track home-quality recorder or a very expensive
wide-tape, high-speed, multi-track recorder. Digital recording
could be as simple as a two-track DAT recorder, or can be a
much fancier multi-track digital recorder.
The second letter refers to the recorder used in the mixing and
editing process. Mixing and editing is the process of combining
a multi-track master recording, setting levels, editing out
defects, adjusting equalization, and creating a two-track final
tape. There are good machines available for this which are
analog and good machines which are digital.
The third letter refers to the final master, which for a CD
is always digital. I have seen discs that are labelled
as AAD, ADD, DAD, and DDD.
Future releases may not have this three letter code on them
because they don't tell you anything that is significant. Also,
some codes have been used incorrectly on some discs, which
makes the information that much more meaningless. |

How 'bout "analogously"?

And virtually everything before CDs was AAA, although I seem to recall a few
special audiophile pressings that were ADA....r |

Basically. Recording is 'production', so the means of recording is
just an attribute. Post-production is when the music tracks are
tweaked, processed, and appropriate audio effects are placed after the
*actual* recording. Then, after the tracks have been layed out, it is
'mastered'. This is when the mix is "thickened' and frequencies are
balanced to ensure a 'quality' sound.
When I listen to a CD, or whatever, I listen for the overall production
of the songs. Production, in this sense, being the process from A to Z
(including post).
I really hope that answers some questions. If I created more, well
---damn!
