um, no.

Tape degrades over time and with use. Many hours of work in the 70s & 80s is lost, only good for remembering how the song went at best. Plus everything took longer; you had rewind between takes!
Syncing tape was a pain ..

Try getting the same sound from an analog synth on two different nights in two different locations. Those markers on the sliders/knobs were approximate at best once voltage started changing at all.

I, for one, like the reliability of digital.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
