The draw to recording a single Stereo track over multitracking? Or vice versa?

I mean, if you wanna challenge yourself, what happens if you don’t use your plugs and instead the Heat? Like you, I don’t multi-track, which creates a smoother and more defined workflow, at the expense of flexibility. Or is that actually a benefit, perhaps?

@circuitghost Thought I’d reply here instead to avoid going too much off topic there

I did a similar challenge with the OT, actually. I really, really like the OT’s filter and its overdrive. It’s up there with my favorite plugins and the Heat, IME. It helps that it’s exactly the flavor of saturation I like. The last few tracks I’ve uploaded to youtube used far fewer plugins than usual, thanks to the OT’s filter overdrive. In fact, on one of them I only used a limiter in post!

Recording everything in one stereo track really helps me keep moving forward.
