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.

The only way I can see purely digital mastering in my future is if I gave up my
board, and equalisers. I know that won't happen despite knowing how to make my own plug-ins to my specifications.
On the whole digital masterig only will be the standard in the years to come. Hopefully by then, those who are giving digital mastering a bad name will either learn from their mistakes or move on to something else.
Cheers!
