| Thanks for all the advice so far!
Nostudio- If I need to do it to suit the song, then I need to do it. The plugs I have chosen will afford me a great deal of flexibility, especially in the EQ department. It is certainly an exercise that hopefully will force me to track what I need, but also to help me learn to visualize the final result. We shall see how it goes...
Soulofmalay- My tracking chain is pretty solid right now. I have a UA 710 mic pre to an Apogee duet. Mics are not too bad. PR30, e609, AT 2050, and a couple of cheap Apex mics. They have served me well so far. I wish I had more money for gear, but don't we all! I actually just acquired a UAD 2 card, which has really opened my eyes (and ears) to the possibilities. I am actually hoping to start rocking the DIY outboard gear train soon. First build will be a Urei LA 4. I might then go to an LA 2A, but I am not the most experienced in electronics.
Part of my inspiration was actually from a thread started by monsieur Roddey regarding his new minimalist plugless studio. How is that working for you by the way? If I wasn't so deeply rooted ITB, and outta disposable cash, thats exactly what I would do.
