I think the best approach to recording is to keep it simple and try and get it perfect on the first take. Use good microphones, have the right room to record in, headphones seem to be the way to go instead of monitors, and place the microphones correctly. More important is the content of what you are recording. If the music is shit nothing in the mix can help it. You can't polish a turd. Great songs well played can make up for less than ideal recording. So don't diddle it to death, get a pretty good copy down, polish it a bit and be happy. Too many musicians fuck it up with over diddling in the studio and then they can't play it live.
If anything digital tools have made recording cheaper, more accessable for the average person, and is better for editing. Analog still sounds better.
