Its an interesting point you raise. Things absolutely worked but with technology came infinitely more 'choice and flexibility' but with that came more complexity and I think that's where things go wrong, The technology works as it's told to by people who perhaps don't fully understand it!

I see you're a musician. An old analogue 48 track desk and racks of effects or a PC with plug'ins and a little digital mixer? Which would you take?

I'm just old and the pace of technology overtook my ability to keep up with it somewhere around 2003 lol...Now I just accept being in a permanent state of awe and ignorance!

Well, it's funny you should say that. When it comes to music, I think I prefer a pc with plug ins and a studio set up! Only because I have had recording/mixing desks in the past and they have been utter bastards to work. Huge learning curve and crazy un-intuitive bits to get things to do what they are meant to.

On the pc it is all a bit easier. The hard part is making the music!!
