Analog tape is not a magic cure all!!!!

Having said that I like it. On an all digital project mixing to a good analog machine can soften the highs and a bit and make it more like a record, but we're talking maybe 10% difference. Is the added cost and hassle of keeping a space heater of a tape machine running worth it? For some people it is and for some it isn't. I have clients who can readilly and easily hear the difference between digital and analog and others who can't even though it's obvious to me.
