I miss the sound character of tape, but not the effort involved to keep it running right. I also miss the fact that when you worked on tape you didn't have endless choices to make in the future that you do with computers.

I recall distinctly how my pace of working slowed quite a bit once a DAW entered the control room - and it never improved (!).
On another note - I'm amazed at some recent ITB mixes I've heard from some contemporaries using outboard controllers.
There is an appeal of leaving behind all the boat anchors.
I was always underwhelmed with the sound of my Studer 810 as compared to the MCI JH110, which is why the Studer became the slap back delay.
Why a Studer plugin though & why not one of the analogue 'sound machines' like MM1200, Stephens, et al? Then I'd be tempted.
Maybe this is a taste of things to come.
