So now tape is used during mixing/mastering;
to run signal out of PT, through the analog console,
hit the tape (either half inch or 2 inch),
over to an 1176, and then print back through the 192's.
What does that process get you?

You are digitizing the signal into Protools, then putting it on to tape, then back into Protools. So you are digitizing the signal twice. Can you actually hear any audible difference? Or is it all just a placebo effect because you think it SHOULD sound better/different?
