Benedikt made some experiments at the end of 2021, mostly comparing analog gear to plugins (among other tests he did), trying to figure out where he can make things more efficient without sacrificing quality. Ideally even improving the quality of his work while also moving faster and more intuitive.
 
We wanted to talk about it and share his findings, as we think it will be encouraging and empowering to you.

And there's more to this: 

If you've been listening for a while, you know how much we love efficiency. But we thought about it again and decided that we really wanted to talk about the importance of setting a high quality standard for yourself, going the extra mile and not sacrificing anything for convenience.

Art is not convenient. But creating art can be more efficient and frictionless than a lot of people believe. 

So the questions are:

Where's the line? When are you starting to compromise the quality of your work? And when is a supposed "quality upgrade" not really worth it or actually a downgrade?

Let's discuss!
