Mistakes and innovative use of the tools gave good results in the hardware era. Krust would’ve been in his element pushing buttons, breaking things and making things sound cool as a result. It’s much harder to work like that with software and unless you are a technical savant like Break or DLR, it’s not easy to bend the software plugins to your will and experiment until things sound the way you want them to.
They used to intentionally run the Mackie desks into the red because the analogue distortion gave a great sounding effect. I’m sure some people still do this.
yep exactly.... i definetely have a penchant for the older hardware made tracks.... and Krust was the best at rolling them out freestyle, it's half the charm...
