What some of you may be forgetting is that if you're tracking with a whole rhythm section, you can kind of hear what needs to be done with EQ, but a lot of guys are building a whole project one instrument at a time. That's when EQ'ing to tape gets a little iffy - the guitar you thought sounded so great when you laid it down may well not fit at all when you've finished adding 4 more guitars, 6 tracks of percussion, 10 tracks of vocals and an organ.
Or you may EQ the crap out of the kick drum and later realize that it's awful when you add bass - then what? Drastic cutting of the frequencies that you boosted the day before?
I'm not trying to be argumentative - just pointing out another side to the story.
