Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
I will have to disagree to some extent.
For example, while I enjoy the music of Stan Kenton's 1950s-60s recordings, I would be lying if I said they sound better than his 1970s recordings, or even my own two-mic bootleg.
Multi-mic recordings were being made well before multi-track tape recorders. Most of the 1940s-50s recordings were made with mikes on pretty much each instrument. The big difference is that they were mixed down live, rather than later.
One other point I'd disagree with:
"All the EQ stuff, etc., more grist for the mill. Not needed in the first place if the original recording is made properly."
"Properly" is a subjective term. The legendary Al Hirt with totally hot actress and wonderful singer Ann-Margret recording of "The Best Man" (c. 1965) was recorded and produced completely differently than Carly Simon's 1972 iconic "You're So Vain" with completely different technology. Yet, both are excellent.
:)
"If I don't make it as a recording engineer, I'll be a bass player in a rock band."
