that doesn't have to be though. in my experience, any artist or group that hits a certain critical mass will track to tape. if not exclusively, they will mix down to at least 1/2" tape. my brother, who doesn't give a shit about gear but loves music, asked me if the new fall out boy was recorded to tape. i said, "i don't know but it's almost impossible to tell anymore." point being that we live in an age where boutique gear isn't necessary.
