Hi there,

In a recent thread about analog signal chain, I've posted this affirmation:
The why is often more important than how !

It made me think of all those split seconds decisions we make while tracking and mixing.
I personnally try to stick to a minimal use of gear and plugins but I know many uses their Tools because they have them instead of because the song needs them. In fact, I go with choosing mics and placement trying to prevent myself from using too much EQ or other plugins at mix time... This is why I think 60% of the mixing is done while the tracking.

How do you approach this ?
