A great BBC book on Sound Production and Reproduction
At your risk.

It can be found free downloadable as PDF by a simple google search:

Other way to reduce bass heaviness just after the microphones
At your risk.
Instead of the (R,L) Pleiades filters. (inductor in series with resistor and total in parallel with microphone output) (R,C) filters can be used.
These are capacitor in parallel with resistor and the total in series, that is between microphone and preamplifier. The R can be variable as on the (R,L) filters. Similarly different capacitors or inductors can be switchable.
An (R,C) microphone filter for correcting ribbon microphone bass heaviness at smaller distance than 2-3 ft can be seen on the so nice BBC book, High Quality Sound Production and Reproduction, - H. Burrell Haden, page 63.

Revox G36 valve reel (tape recorder) sound on sound
At your risk.
Listening on YouTube to an interview of producer Tony Swain (Just an Illusion - Imagination) where he used as a youngster a G36 for bouncing.
Then searching with the title keywords, AI found me someone who explains how it was done, with listening examples:

How would recording with a Tascam porta 07 sound if the erase heads are disconnected so that as many as needed sounds could be rerecorded on the same part of magnetic tape (cassette) without generation loss?
