It is the bomb for artists.And for engineers and producers.You can mix while you are working.You can put it down for 6 months and recall tha track right where you left it.In three seconds.My approach to digital is like analog,a performance.And then take advantage of the advantages.The shortcuts.It took me awhile to get with it.Yet now I understand.For such a long time this technology was prohibited from being imported.They had this all down in japan.From a technical/engineering viewpoint relating to how to make it simple for the producer.The con is you have got to make at least three backups to your file.On every session.One to disc,one to an external hard drive.One to the PC.Then you are covered all the way.
