I've been thinking about the medium upon which I dump down my tracks. Since I'm summing and bus compressing OTB anyways, it wouldn't be much more of a stretch to send it on out to tape to send to be mastered, rather than come back into the box.

The question is, if everything is tracked digitally, do you still get a decent "Tapey" benefit by doing this? Or would it be better to just go back to the DAW as I already am?
