Iain, of course, has an axe to grind since he makes a living out of

Dave. Please stop this irritating spate of dissemination of
false information. I do not make a living in the way you
describe above. The great majority of the project in which
I am involved are 24bit digital. If a client asks for analogue
multitrack (as is sometimes the case in jazz or R+R concerts)
then ours is one of the few crews that can supply this and
have the expertise required for its use. Monitoring is also
something in which many clients like to have a say. A good
selection of professional monitors and amplifiers is available,
plus valve power amps if required.

So your USP is being able to supply/use old technology for those who
want it. Fine. Why advertise it in one statement then deny it in
another?
