The thing about NEVER eqing to tape nowadays is that not all the mediums are quite as forgiving as TAPE is. Not to start some stupid A vs. D fight.. And PLEASE .. Im really not trying to start a fight here!! IMHO things definitly sound different coming back from alsihad and I have found that getting a better sounding signal to the machine is easier to work with later on. I feel like it is more of a fight to get things to work coming back from alsihad when they have been sent in flat. This may be subjective but IMHO the same EQ and Comp will sound better on, lets say a bass gtr, before it hits Digi, than on the way back.
Some may agree.. some may disagree.. All are entitled to thier own opinion.
The point I am trying to make is that when I started as an AE I used only analog and tracked EVERYTHING in flat. Now I am forced to use other mediums and I EQ to each as I try to see fit.
Its all one big fun game since most times clients cant tell the difference anyway... But, at the end of the day I want to enjoy the way the records I have been a part of sound.
