Full Band Digital Mix Bounce to Tape - Is It Magic? (Analog Tape Shootout #4)

Does a full band digital mix become “magical“ when it is copied to analog tape? Or is the analog tape mystique just hype? You decide!! In this episode, #4 of the Analog Tape Shootout series, I take a digital mix of a Fervent Send song (way cool Prog-Rock!), and send it to my trusty Teac A3440 4-track reel deck, calibrated to 2 different levels (-18dB and -21 dB). I then copied the 2 tape recordings back to the computer. This video compares each version so that you can hear the difference (if there is one).
