Seems like all the newer engineers these days has never had to record to tape. We are totally spoiled with digital editing with all of it's capabilities. I personally have never used tape myself, but i'm sure there are a few people on here that have. I am told it's a completely different world, and that tape adds a nice character to recorded music.
What I would like to know is who on this forum has had experience with it, whether they still use it or not, and if they think tape still has it's place in the recording industry today?
I've also heard of people recording their masters to tape for the desired compression it has. It might be a neat idea for anyone that still uses tape to do a shootout of a mix that's completely digital, compared to one that is recorded to tape and back into their daw.
