Can't believe I missed this thread before... Me, I do everything! I have to no matter how I record it, I still end up with 4+ separate tracks that have to be mixed down. I could do it "on-the-fly", but guess what, I'm still mixing and modifying so it ain't "pure"... I also compress, limit, eq, (insert plug-in here), to the recording.
I guess I'm not a taper and that's why I hate that label. I haven't considered myself a taper for a long time because I don't just tape. I record, produce, and master.

(for the record, my business cards read: On-location Sound Recordist <-- use to be used in the US for film sound mixers, now it seems most of them are called mixers and only in the UK are they still referred to as Sound Recordist).
