"more control over bass..." <--- not sure what you mean by that.

All that said, some great sounds can also be achieved with Hardware recording, but make sure you are using the best possible audio to digital converters.

Regardless, just go make a great album with great performances.

"More control over bass", i basically meant the same thing; would it give it more punch to kick/snare/bass?, more control over EQ? better compression or better overall BIG sound? but u already answered that

Dre kicks, snares and the whole recording music has a very fuller feel. has a lot of meat. i was wondering it was achieved by recording on analog.

i plan to use Quantegy 499 tapes.
