When I began recording, I had a Tascam MS16 and a Tascam M520 Board. I abandoned all this for Pro Tools. Certainly editing is more convenient in PT as is the ability to use multiple instances of a plug-in during mix down.

A while back I discovered an old tape I had made years ago on Tape and realized that there was something special about the sound of the drums in particular that I had not really noticed was missing.

As a result, I have reconnected my old Tascam M16 and am now beginning my tracking on Tape and then dumping it into PT for editing and eventual mix down.

I like the results and am glad my old multitrack is no longer a large paper weight in the corner.

Since this only required the expense of having the MS16 properly aligned for me, it was a no brainer. If I did not have the machine I doubt I would have been able to justify the expense but it came cheap.

We're all at different levels of expertise, gear, talent and I think what ever works is good.
