I work at a studio in Atlanta and we use both Digital & Analog(tape). The only big company left that made 2 inch tape closed down but in its wake a bigger company is going to keep making them last I heard(a couple months ago). A band like Wilco could record analog for forever for just the reason there are so many recording artists going digital that the few who still want to record analog will be able to. Supply and demand is the long and short of it I guess. Good thing Wilco has a strong creative preference because lots of labels demand digital for it's speed of use and much cheaper eq
