Listening to the engineers remarks about his reaper setup, he relies 
heavily on plugins and perhaps outboard electronics to get an "analog 
warmth" and other plugins to achieve "tape saturation feel". So you should 
not expect transparency from either take. It is possible on the Reaper mix 
he chose to let a track or two go unprocessed... same with mixbus, but I 
don't get the idea this engineer lets anything go without tweaking.
