He makes some really good points. The process of creating is so important, a lot of the time it's actually a far bigger issue than whatever technical pros and cons there are (and digital definitely has some pretty big pros). Similar to how vinyl or cassettes force you to consume content in a more conscious way than mp3s or streaming, or handwriting instead of typing on a cpmputer can have a positive effect when you're learning school stuff or tackling some kind of complicated decision you have to make.

I also feel like I've had a much easier time making music when I was making chiptune with a Game Boy than when I'm making more conventional music using a DAW - sometimes, limitation can be freeing.
