Why? (Disclaimer: I'm not a professional in that industry, so I don't really know what I'm talking about.) Just as one example, the microphones and guitars these days are all connected to the mixing board through wireless radios, which we can assume are using digital protocols (just like all other wireless comms these days). Long gone are the days of ridiculously long cords that musicians trip over on stage. So at least that portion of the audio path has to be digital. And from what little I've been able to see of a modern mixing board from the audience, they look quite modern, with computerized displays, so of course they're going to be working with the audio digitally.
Wireless transmitters don’t immediately imply digital. But I see your point. I haven’t done sound reinforcement in since the 90s. The body mics we used weren’t digital. Shit I’m old. I’ll just stop talking because my initial post was an attempt to channel Randy Marsh showing the gang how to play a real guitar instead of Guitar Hero but then I talked out of my league. lol.
