In recording, I flip flop. I do like to say it doesn't matter what it looks like, it matters what it sounds like (duct taped broken mic sounds good, it IS good)

But I am really into the esthetic of classic recording with huge mixers and tape machines. Its just so real, and so cool. I have these things, but of course they dont get used as much as the boring old computer, but they are a lot more inspiring to look at. If I could afford to get rid of the Computer I would. The songs ive made right to tape have always been the most fun and easiest to do because its actually ON the tape and you cant edit it to death, and it may actually get finished. 300 songs sitting on a hard drive never get finished. Then a plugin license expires and screws up your whole session... ugh.
