The whole point of Direct to Disc is to avoid making a tape. The soundboard is connected directly to the vinyl cutting lathe and presses the master lacquer in real time as the musicians play on a Direct to Disc record (recording).

Now don't get me wrong what you have is still excellent and should be made as Direct to Disc always had a limited press as you can make only so many records from one master lacquer. There is a Sheffield CD too made from that session tape.

I love the music too. Get any of the Lee Ritenour JVC direct to disc you can find too. Done after the Sheffield they are "largely" the same band. Gentle Thoughts is the best of the three made IMO followed by Sugarloaf Express then Friendship.

It's not just the tape noise floor there is fidelity and dynamics loss compared to the original discs.
