I prefer to track the individual drum mics (but not the overheads or room mics, usually) and sometimes the bass to analog tape. Everything else will probably go down digitally, although we can get creative with overdubs to allow for most everything to hit tape, if that's your thing. All analog tracks will be flown into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for editing and mixing.

See a short primer on the analog vs. digital debate here. Part 2, which will convey the reasons for my general methods, is coming soon - I promise.
