You want another take of the guitar solo? Are you sure? The last one isn't coming back!

Oh man, those were the days!
I used to be hunched over my 4 track recorder every month when guitar techniques and total guitar would release new backing track cds.

So many old jams, those days were magic when you had to wing it at times and special stuff would happen.

A lot of innovative changes in music in the analog era were by mistake, which makes new findings rare by definition. With intention comes a possibility for greatly increased expansion.

So yes, digital offers a lot more creative directions over analog.

Do you actually read what you write?

I agree that it's easier to explore ideas, but that does not mean there are physically more avenues of creativity.

Do you read what I wrote? There are physically more avenues as we have the ability to create new digital plugins that alter audio in entirely new ways - ways that were likely impossible to physically achieve with analog equipment.

it goes both ways

i try to stay in the middle since there's pros and cons to both, but it's your choice dawg
