I'm curious - why did you guys not simply capture the tones as you've done for the plug-ins and just use those digital tones to create the album? Instead of constantly switching equipment
As of now, the real physical gear, with all its downsides, is still gonna sound a little better than the plug-in version. Would most people notice, no. Would the engineers notice, yes. I think pretty soon tho a significant number of bands will use digital stuff only.
