I agree to tape isnt for everyone, esp for rap, rnb, electronica etc. even a lot of to tape can be embelished with things like triggers used for drum sounds. this means you could pretty much record an entire album beating on cardboard boxes and you could still get ultra tight drum sounds. cheating IMHO (for a rock album). if your somone like NIN or ministry then its par for the cousrse and ppl get upset if you dont try such wacky techniques

i dunno, i guess im just a fan of old style multi track! but im certianly not saying that everything recorded to disk is ****, obviously it isnt! the transplants album ausnted cities is great, one of my current faves and was obviously done on pro tools with loops etc.
