In this week’s podcast, Julian is joined by Damian Kearns and James Richmond. This week we are talking about things in the studio we think are still worth doing the hard way - outside the computer.

Talking Points
With so many ways of doing things in the box, can we each give an example of something which is better done ‘for real’.
What about the converse, while it’s nice to spend time and/or money keeping it authentic, does there come a point where it’s an indulgence?
This is of course a moving target. What things can you think of which used to be best done for real which now you’re happy to fake?
And going the other way can you think of things on which you’ve changed your mind and gone back to the “old ways”
Future gazing time - What would you like to see become viable as an in the box solution for something which at present you can’t do?
