Digital Signal Processing: take a signal (in this case audio),
do some matrix math on it (in hardware or software), and use 
the result. It's like any other tool -- it can be used for 
good or ill. I'm just of the opinion that, for all too 
many musicians, it's this years version of Capri pants, 
if you know what I mean.

I wouldn't call myself a purist, I'm just a guy whose
heard enough digital clipping to last me
awhile, thanks.  Use the tools, don't let
them use you.
