Just been listening to the radio here ( UK) and a programme about how vinyl records are becoming more and more popular/ record players sales etc. All analogue.

I am not making a comment about workflow, wow and flutter, distortion etc etc etc. spare parts for machines, calibration and so on.....

Music is passion, atmosphere, group playing etc ....

I love mixing with tape, there is no doubt that it feels and sound so good and is great fun to use!

Who wants to look at a computer monitor and all the graphics and millions of choices?

Agrees 100%.

It is so much more fun when you use many methods to capture the sound you want, in particular outboard gear.

I use both methods, ITB and OTB and my computer is still my recorder, however I look at it so much less these days. If i could have it my away i would do away with the my mac pro for my music entirely however I know realistically that is not going to happen.
I think it is not just about the sound, but the creative results that come from not using a computer.

For this reason I plan on purchasing a console, so I can look at my computer even less in 2012.
How ironic that as technology grows I continue to shy away from it!
