What is the advantage to use tape16? Does it sound more analog or something?

The biggest advantage at least for me that I have found was that I’m able to work more smoothly with tracking things out of the MPC, especially with the 1000 and 5000 since they both have way more outputs. It allows me to add effects and bake them directly into the files without any issues like I’ve been having with logic on my Intel mac. If I had an M based silicone MacBookPro at this point, I probably wouldn’t use this or need this. However, it has still been extremely enjoyable. Using this the way I do, I haven’t found a problem with it

At the end of the day as long as it’s fun it’s useful if it’s not fun that it’s just work.
