When I think of "old ways" of recording, I think of a band cutting live.
Oh, the "old way" as in "the Nashville way," with a room full of musicians all playing at the same time? That's part of the reason that I love living and recording here. No one ever convinced us that recording one part at a time was better. Because it isn't.

There's no substitute for having hundreds of years of musical experience and talent all sitting in the same room and interacting with other live musicians. It's an incredible experience. Maybe people will eventually figure that out. The only way to get the chemistry of people playing together is to have them "playing together." Duh.
