This is a mastering technique I've used for years: pumping a digital mix into the Tascam 424 mkiii Portastudio to add tape compression, analog distortion, and warm up digital mixes. Mastering songs with a 4-track Portastudio on cassette always helps glue the mixes together as well and leads to a more pleasing listening experience when done right.

You can download a free before and after of the digital mix and cassette master of a song called "Hideout" on Patreon here:   / 50181615
