Then I usually dump it straight to Reaper and mix in the box. But sometimes we will mix straight to 1/4”. I did this recently, and the band released that single the following week.

It was not uncommon for us to record 6 tracks on the old Ampex 1", then bounce that down to stereo so we could do another 6 tracks, and the loss with that wide tape and bulky head stack there was pretty minimal loss, but no going back once you did it, so the initial mix had to be right or you were screwed.
