Sounds like it's in the RT recording itself, not so much a 2025 vs 2018 issue.
You can try to make it less noticeable with EQ or such .. or try a different similar style for the drums .. or add something to the mix to hide it ..
It may just be the way the drummer dragged the brushes around in that style
It's not *that you changed styles, it's the style you chose, most likely.
That and your sound card may accentuate it.
Just my thoughts at this point, thanks for all the examples and clarity; they help other users respond.
Spend some time demoing examples so you can choose what to acquire.
