Is hard disk recording a curse sometimes?

It's a tool, and can be used for good or evil. Repetitive takes can be a learning curve, fixing mistakes can lead you down the path to creativity, or just be a cheap cheat. All depends on how you use it.

I completely agree oldguy.

Jimi's original topic was whether HD recording could be a curse sometimes. Personally, I don't really see it as a curse. I think it is an amazing tool that can do both amazing and crappy things. Sometimes simultaneously.

Taste and restraint (or the lack of) have always been a factor whether recording analog or digital. Plenty of crappy recordings in the old days and certainly tons more now that anyone can do it. But the access and creative freedom are wonderful things.
