As pointed out by others, there is also the musicianship and songwriting elements that go into this factor. Then there is Gil Norton......enough said.
Why does it always have to go to this bullshit. You can get a big sound out of digital. If you're telling him that unless he has 100's of thousands worth of analog boards and tape he'll never get a big sound, you're screwing him over. People make great sounding records everyday without the use of huge analogue boards and studers every freakin day. God, am I sick of that answer.
