FWIW I do recalls all the time of all-analog mixes and it's not a troublesome thing to get it all back. Clients do likewise. Just takes a little more time, which is delegated to an assistant anyway.

Nowadays if there are fewer then 10-20 edits to make and it's a rock thang, I'll stay with the 2" and get my razor out. Cutting tape doesn't require big talent and it's not that slow either. I like the fact that in addition to avoiding the dig AD/DA, the edits are chosen without looking at a computer screen....not as small a detail as one might think imho.

Otherwise, most projects that I see being done with tape are tracked to tape, then dumped to PT for editing, then mixed from PT spread out on the SSL using the console and outboard.
