I mean, as an older fart, I do think there's value in committing to an idea. Though, I could also see benefit in having the processing be malleable until the last possible second. I mean, imagine if you're working with an egomaniac artist who keeps being wishy-washy on which sound they like best. If the effects are being printed and they want to go back, it could become a huge pain in the ass. AT THE SAME TIME, I think there's merit in telling someone 'no' so the project can move forward. I dunno, I guess it depends. I can see it both ways.
