as far as digital vs analog. Analog tape simply sounds better and mixes itself compared to digital mediums. In my current project I am composing, recording and posting a new song on the internet at least once a week for the whole year of 2007.
out of deference to Steve I wont put up any links. Needless to say this would be difficult to pull off in the analog world recording-wise. But not impossible. jingle guys do better than this by an order of magnitude, and have been for decades. But again on the distribution side....
Also, cost considerations. It woudl be prohibitive to try and pay for that many reels of tape. Disk space however, is almost free in comparison.
