On number 2, the vocal seems stronger, with more lower midrange energy, at the end. There's also something different about the percussive eighth notes but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
My Experiment In Audio Output
I printed the identical mix two different ways. Would anyone like to comment on the sonic differences?

Re: My Experiment In Audio Output
I picked up an old Pioneer RT-909 a while back to run some family tapes my wife found in her dad's barn but I had never recorded anything to it. So #1 was recorded to the RT-909 (19cm/s) and then back into Logic and #2 was just bounced out of Logic. I was a bit surprised by the amount of tape hiss on it, maybe the machine needs some work. I know very little about tape and how much hiss is normal.
I don't think I'll make this part of the work flow. : )
I paid $10 for this Rt-909 and it looks like new, it also came with 9 large tapes - two were unopened. I had to replace the rollers and the drive belt. I understand these were/are considered to be a good consumer deck as it goes for 1/4" tape.
Re: My Experiment In Audio Output
That machine is real capable for a consumer deck. Meaning, a A/B switching from tape to source should be near exact. I get some manuals off hifiengine, which should tell you recommendations for bias and EQ settings for different tape
