    As you get older you need to take certain supplements to keep your memory sharp!  Unfortunately I can't remember which ones though...

    Interesting article.
     
    I wish though he could have made a sample of the mix with one being basically the digital tracks (i.e. When available. The driums were only analog recorded) and the other all-analog. Just hearing an individual track doesn't really prove anything to me in regards to what I prefer, unless it were to be a solo performance.

    He did explain why some where done that way.


    I would have loved to hear an Acoustic Guitar comparison with a description on his chain.
