Tape -> DAW -> back to tape?

[thefanbelow]

I want to record analog to my 424, then transfer it to my DAW for some more editing, then BACK to tape again to really enrich it with the analog sound it may have lost when going to my DAW. Is this possible, does it have a point, and how do I do it?

It's gonna be a can of worms. You'll do fine up to the point of taking tracks back from your DAW into the tape recorder, but then you are going to have to record them back in (which will lose some sound quality) and because you are stuck doing that manually your tracks won't match up.

I'm not too sure it would add much anyway. I'd recommend leaving it on the DAW for editing/mixing/mastering.
