"We did not go to tape at any point," explains Duffy. "It just didn't occur to any of us that we should use analogue tape. I got into Pro Tools during the recording of Keep Going, mainly to try and see how analogue one could make it, and I found that it sounded very good indeed. I recorded Looking For A Day In The Night on an Akai MG1214 analogue 12-track, which had a Betamax-like cassette in it, as well as a built-in mixing desk. I couldn't tell whether Day In The Night or Keep Going was analogue or digital, or vice versa. Obviously HD offers a sonic improvement, but with people turning to MP3, that's quite meaningless. Yet you can't knock it. Everyone is so on love with their iPod, that it's bringing people back to music. So people are falling in love with music again, and this means it's a very healthy time for music."
