No more analog tape? or at least an extreme shortage.

Tape
Do you still use it?
If so for what?

tape
I've never used it. I'm too new to the field.
Actually, in one of the classes I took we used it just so we knew how, but about the exent of it. I think it's expensive and cumbersome.
My ears weren't fine tuned to hear the difference between analog and digital at that point either. They probably still aren't.
So personally, I won't miss it-- or won't know what I'm missing.
Just wanted to know what some other more seasoned audiophiles thought.

External Unit
I heard many pros simply use it as an effect now, much like an external effect unit. To give a tape sound to whatever.
But I also heard many pro recordings are still recorded on tape, if then tranferred to digital later for editing.
I'm sure the Chilli Peppers catalogue is recorded this way.
