The pros of analogue are that you work harder and you are careful with the work.

The cons are the tape is bulky and it is all manual work.

The pros of Digital editing are that it is cheap as well as being able to do major manipulation. The cons are that is can be complex for users and you can get technical difficulties such as your power can cut out.
