Shameless plug. I've produced an entire album and released it on cassette (as primarily medium in mind). You can listen to it here and watching my tape deck spinning. It is recorded from my tape deck, so you get the real tape sound! :-)

BTW this is the final audio chain then. Crazy. :-)
Synths, instruments, etc. -> Analogue mixing console -> ADC -> DAC -> Professional tape production apparatus -> My tape deck -> ADC -> ACC Codec -> Your DAC

Reminds me of the early music CD's which had AAA, AAD, ADD, DDD printed on them to tell you how the material was recorded, mixed, and mastered. A stood for analog and D for digital. Looks like you went the DDA route :-)
Yeah, mostly DDA, and some songs are live mixed on the console, this is DAA then? Anyway.. :-)
I think the real shift to digital was around 1994-95 when professional digital recording equipment became somewhat affordable even for smaller studios. My Roland DM-80 4-track digital hard disk recorder, you also find on the albums webpage, was more then 20.000$ back in 1991, so most studio easily stood with 16-tracks on analogue tape.
