The appeal of the Op-1 for me is the 4-track virtual tape engine. A year ago, I was working in Logic and ProTools, but I find those super gridded environments to be creatively constricting. With the Op-1, I can decouple the tape speed from the MIDI clock and shed the grid on the fly if need be. Also, I work way better with buttons and knobs than mouse clicks. The work flow I have with the Op-1 is kind of "produce on the way", rather than laying a track down and then adding processing in the mixing phase. I make decisions, and because of the "tape" engine, I have to live with them. Which is good for a classic overthinker like me.

Hey guys,

I arranged, sequenced, and mixed this album on a Teenage Engineering Op-1.
Also used tons of video game samples, Bleep Labs kits, iPhone apps, and other toys.

Hope you dig it!
