the reel version sounds very warm and nice. I use for some ambient and deep house track my 1964`Studer A62 Tape Machine. The Sound is softer and this is beautiful.
I completely agree about reel tape. It's clear why old records sound so much better than digital recordings. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. For me, reel-to-reel is the best of the three options. And if you have a link to your music, please share it!
The reel sounded best to me, I think if you recorded the bass and drums on reel and played the pads and melodies off digital it would be a nice texture and unique sound w nostalgic and modern flavor perfectly captured. I have a nakamichi bx-300 I need to get serviced but I'd like to try the same on that
I agree, the reel to reel has more body and warm, second the cassette and third the original track. What you suggest is such a nice idea to test. I will put that to the test combining the bass and drums on the reel, and using both the Cassette and digital for other instruments. Stay tuned!
Not an accurate test. Recording to tape but then shooting it back to digital for comparison adds more potential for degradation. I could hear stray freq artifacts on the 224 playback but who knows where it came from?

Though I''m a brightness freak I guess to prefer the "Portastudio".
I personally liked the reel-to-reel, the less bright of them all.
Tape is the best
Agreed!

What would be an accurate test then to you
In the latest video I did a pure analog recording. This one was an experiment though. Thanks for watching!
