As I have been thinking about buying a 24track to use in combination of my HD system I always thought it was best to track to tape(especially drums) first. This way your transients are captured by the tape and not by the converter. Which I have always find anoying.. I mostly record 24 bit and I feel like I still have to turn the input gain for the snare track in PT all the way down to still capture the highest transient. I hoped recording to tape first would solve this problem..
I know a lot of people are mixing TO tape to get an overal tape saturation sound but I think you better buy a HEDD then.
You have all the tools you need to check it out yourself.
Good luck!
