I'm currently just weighing up the idea of adding an analogue signal chain to my setup. I've always mixed solely 'in the box' and much of my analogue curiosity is likely down to the perceived 'grass being greener' and me just liking knobs and switches to play with.

There's a lot to be said for having physical controls - we are physical beings, with bodies and hands after all. The summing mixer just seems a bit anaemic. Why not dive in properly and get a nice-sounding analogue desk with EQ, proper faders, and all that... (now dead cheap second hand...) that way you get a proper physical mixing experience rather than a token extra D/A A/D step? Just another idea for the brew...
