[Avid-L2] The "tape is dead" thread

 

During all of 2010, I've used tape machines less than ten times. I've almost forgotten how to operate our decks. All we do comes in on hard disks and flash cards, and goes out on disk or via ftp on our 100mbit line. An estimated guess (I haven't been counting) would be around 250 commercials and various other productions, all delivered file based.

The delivery is in any format the client requires. The "master" is an LTO archive of the entire project. So tape survives, as the most dependable archiving format.

2010 was also my first year (since 1979) in which I never bought a physical copy of a record.
