I think it would be interesting to try it out myself. Over the years, I realized that I've learned a lot from computer based music production, but I tend to perform better on gears. I take the knowledge I've learned in my DAW and transfer to my hardware setup. Sometimes, it goes back and fort as I develop techniques on my small hardware setup that I then re-use in my DAW.There must be something in the air, because a number of musicians have recently taken the impulse even further, recording entire albums using only a single piece of gear. As creative strategies go, it’s a no-brainer: Constraints are wonderful creative springboards to previously unimagined methods and workarounds. As one of Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies cards puts it, “It is quite possible (after all).”
Anyways, good article well worth a read.
