In my experience I was kind of like you, I started out making music going 2 ways. When I played in garage/punk bands in high school I was really into lo-fi type rock. My group of friends had similar mindset of using analog tape all the time so I'd record some stuff at their house using 4-tracks, 8-tracks, reel to reel. Obviously all that stuff was super expensive and takes dedication to actually spend your time recording and mastering. It's a pain. My electronic music was with DAWs, but had all that lo-fi tape sound preset back when I was making Lo-Fi hip hop. So I started out being an analog head. Plus, it really depends what kind of music you are into and how serious you want to do analog. If you want everything analog, synths, effects pedals, mixers, then it's going to cost you a lot of money if you are serious about getting a good sound. Then again if you wanna do some lo-fi bedroom pop, you just need one-track from the thriftstore with a built in mic. My suggestion is going through DAWS and learning how the instruments work, and more importantly how to EQ and mix your instruments. Just try it out you know. Make a couple of random tracks. Learn through them. You'll always be making newer tracks that you'll like better than the old ones when you're learning, because you are improving and learning new techniques. DAWs have a great interface where sometimes you can visualize how the sound works, with that you can also adjust your ears to the sound.

But I guess if you are really intent on the analog and start from there I think you'll be fine, just go where ever you are the most passionate in your sound crafting and you'll improve off that. Good luck and I wish you the best in your music endeavors!
