Analog tape just died

[BoB]

From Slashdot: the world's last manufacturer of professional reel-to-reel analog audio tape has has closed their plant.
I remember skimming something recently that said MachineHead liked to record on analog tape for a more 'raw sound' I'm curious if anyone here uses analog tape?

This is a crushing blow to the only person that I know that thinks being "high tech" is an insult. Southside Steve Rickman, he used everything on analog tape when well he had a show to play the shit on. Did anyone hear listen to the Regular Guys? Because I miss that fuckin show. :mrgreen

Because of ProTools, much has changed, but previously, all guitars were recorded on tape, because it did provide a more "colorful" sound. Even with ProTools I think some bands had still prefered tape. To be completely honest though, I can't tell a difference. That's why I say the hell with it and just use a computer, way cheaper and quicker.
