Vocals - In my opinion the effects blended together better on Tape, maybe if I were a trained singer who sang with no effects I’d say Digital was better though

Synth - Tape wins HANDS DOWN, it sounded MUCH warmer and the ‘texture’ was much MUCH smoother, the digital recording sounded good too but it sounded ‘computerized’ which can be cool , but the tape recording was incredible.

Drums - I have a drum machine, this worked pretty much the same analog or digitally recorded, but the tape picked up more ambient sounds from the reverb and gain effects i added and the digital recording sounded ‘bigger’ . It’s all the same but i’ll go with digital on this one, i don’t like drum beats being hidden.
Guitar - this depends , on tape I got less noise and the notes blended better to form chords, but when fed directly into logic it sounded much clearer but could never sound exactly like my amp sounds live.. I can’t make a ruling on this one, I’m going to swtich back and forth as i need it.

Bass - pretty much same as guitar

MY QUESTION is this….why is it that if i record directly into Software it sounds different than when I record to tape then feed the TAPE into the software, shouldn’t it be the same?
