Not true. A very recent example would be the Foo Fighters new album. While I didnt really like it all that much its beside the point. Grohl recorded the entire thing on tape and spliced/cut all of it in a 100% analog studio. The black keys have done that for a long time as well as quite a few other rock and blues bands. It can be dont just not as cheaply as digitally. For a new band to release something in that format is probably asking to much.

I'll amend my statement to begin "Unless you're on the level of the Foo Fighters or something..."

At any rate the point was that computers require skill to use properly, and can be used by bands with no electronic instruments generating tones; I wasn't contending that one couldn't record without them.
