Just like a song the studio (well to me it does) gets played out and dull, boring whatever. So when one of my machines a dual processor dinosaur started acting up from old age. I decided to streamline and retreat further into da box, thus taking less legacy items with me. I have analog stuff I haven't fired up in years which is an indicator to where I need to take things. Instead of creating long recording processes in the futile search for greater than God creatable sound quality, when musical high is only momentary for I'm already thinking of the next song.
