| I love the sound of tape, but it's not practical for me right now.
In fact, without the advent of the DAW, I'd have a pretty limited rig right now.
In the absence of tape, I'm a "get a good sound onto the hard drive slut".
Digital has some benefits. What you hear through the monitors is what you'll hear when you play the session back. Today, tomorrow or two years from today. Depending on what's going on, that can also give tape the advantage.
Whether or not that's what happened in the room is neither here nor there, but tape is a simulacrum just like digital.
