Is it possible to transfer analog tone and soundstage of vintage reel to reel to digital.

YOUR silly little and childish attacks aside, and your obtuseness at not even remembering what you wrote 10 minutes ago, it seems YOU care who was responsible since you attempted to attack me just 2 posts ago with a Wikipedia link no less. You are still just a troll.

>>>>>Unfortunately for your “observation” your point is incorrect as the loudness wars has to do with mastering practices, not mixing.

You can’t even keep up with the conversation. You’re a clumsy oaf.

I use line out from pre-amp to an Art USB Phono + converter then USB in to laptop making sure high res stereo recording is enabled on the USB microphone device.  I use Audacity software on the laptop to record, edit and process.   Audacity is freeware and the ART device can be had on Amazon for <$100.  It also functions as a phono pre-amp as needed.  Very functional and flexible device.   I then use Picard freeware and db Poweramp software to tag as needed.

I set levels and record in Audacity once the needle drops on side 1 then continue recording until side 2 is complete.    Next in Audacity I delete out extra data between sides for a smooth transition between last track on side 1 and first on side two.   Then I play the tracks to add labels to designate breaks between  tracks at proper locations.  

Then comes click removal followed by normalization to complete the processing.  Next I export many to export each labeled track to a file in the target library directory.    The files are loaded into Picard to autotag or if no  suitable matches for tags can be found there  I tag manually using dbpoweramp.   Finally I run my Seagate backup software to get  a backup of the new files right away and rescan my Squeeze Server library to pick up the new files in that library.   Plex autoscans and picks up new files automatically.     It takes me 20-30 minutes in general to complete the processing once recording is done.   Results are quite good with a little practice and I think the results would suit most here.

The name of Robert Ludwig’s company is Gateway Mastering, not Gateway Mixing. Stay in school, roberttcan, roberttdid, whatever.
