I just want to know how many see at least one analog device. My second question is do you see a shift towards purely digital mastering each year? I am not asking which you think is better (I don't want to start World War III again here). Is now 50/50 or what?

Thanks a lot.

It is not some thing I say I ask for, but all the ME I work with have some analogue and good not plug digital (example, Weiss DS) . More now than 6 years ago use some plug too like Flux. I dont change my ME much in 6 years and that is the only change I see in them.
