Apart from the number of tracks, plug ins, etc., there is another big difference between today and 1967 : many of us tend to spend hours recording music alone, at home. While this was sort of an "experimental" attitude in the early 70's (see Mc Cartney and his first solo album) it has become very common. In order to (sort of) compensate the feeling of isolation during my home studio sessions, I have connected the individual outs of my MOTU Traveler to several audio systems : two guitar amps, one bass amp, and a stereo system for the drums. This way, if I close my eyes while tracking a voice, I can easily imagine there is a real band all around me. Pathetic, I know... :-/ Yann Le Bihan
