Bob - I'm right there with you on this one.

There was something immediate and satisfying about 4 track tape and when I listen to some of the things we recorded that way, they still sound good. Unfortunately, technology's like a drug that's hard to give up once you've tried it.

Most of my recordings now, start off as three or four tracks on PowerTracks and it's only when I've got the "groove" working and the song structure finished that I allow myself to start filling the other tracks.

Even with the stack of effects available, I find most of the time I'm only using a compressor and a reverb.

But don't ask me to give up my computer!

ROG.
