Music Producer, Session Player

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: As a guitar player, I know that analog devices are really needed for getting that deep, authentic and rich sound. When I play keys, I don't use that much MIDI tracks, and trying to bring the audio straight from my analog devices. But in the past few years I went deep into the digital world, and there's a lot of cool sounds and vibes that we can get out of digital devices. So I guess my answer depends on the specific track and genre i'm working on.
