Pro Tools Offline Bounce
Offline bounce was completely different in both sound quality and sync, real time bounce again different. The only way to preserve the EA work was to real-time re-record into another track within the session. Also tried switching real time Rhythmic to rendered processing, resulting in different sound.

It processes the entire mix internally, saving valuable time, especially for complex projects with multiple tracks and effects. Bounce Online or Offline: If you bounce online, Pro Tools will bounce the track in real time; if you select the Offline box, the mix will typically bounce faster than real time.

Everything goes through this chain and it might be the thing that's throttling the max speed.
