I also get a certain warm & fuzzy feeling if I can get a good sound printed to tape that sounds good on mixdown with no EQ, that the sound I'm hearing on mixdown is the actual sound I got printed to tape, and [hopefully] doesn't need EQ on playback.

I also think a small amount of high freq boost on the input side is necessary to compensate for a slight high freq rolloff that you get with analog tape. We are talking about analog tape, aren't we? Haha. Otherwise, I just EQ sparingly on the input side, to get the best sound of the moment, and print that to tape.

I'm just into personal home recording, but I'm pretty happy with the sound I'm getting on my recordings.
