not any more, digital is capable of producing the warmth that everyone bangs on about these days.
not so ten years ago, but now tape isn't used in 99% of commercial studios.
as tynan says, good = good, whatever format it's recorded on.
there are some great records recorded on early digital, with it's jittery bit rates and lossy compression..
a great sound source in a great room recorded with great mics through a great pre-amp by a great engineer will be great on 2" tape or 44khz digital
