  is it correct that the following two scenarios

 In both cases the (record),(playback) pair cancels out, so the
 result should be the same.
 
Ok.. consequently if a mixing person says, "i'm recording the bass with
compression and eq, it just makes a better overall mix compared to
applying after recording" it can be looked at as rubbish (in the digital
domain).
