sadly i cannot practice what i preach all the time :)
i pretty much record everything i do on an ADAT ... about to graduate to
24bit pro-tools, which will be a helluva lot better.
i do use as much analogue source material as possible, including synths,
as well as running digital instruments through analogue filters, effects,
etc.
eventually i want to take a batch of songs to an analogue studio and
record to 1/2 inch tape but that costs dollllaaaaaaaarrrssss
