I quit all that tech & dozens of learning curves when I realized I was spending more time in the tech zone that than on music. Think how technically shitty that record ‘Louis, Louis’ was, yet it got covered thousands of times. Can’t ‘quantize’ or ‘EQ’ or ‘reverb’ or ‘mike arrange’ or ‘24-track’ a great song.
Reading the other day a June 2011 Elec. Musician mag. Story on Moby in it, he’d collected hundreds of old analog boxes, after digital came along. Used to make his ‘Destroyed’ album.
