When I started all the equipment was tubes. Neumann mikes with built in tube pres, ampex tube recorders, custom built consoles with tube pres and tube line stages, monitor amps were altec tube amps. When in 1970 we went all solid state a lot was lost. Early digital sounded good in the studio but the cds of our masters sounded nothing like what the masters sounded like. As far as engineering goes we only had three track early on so most recordings were done with everybody at once. Very little overdubbing. This was great training to record full bands and orchestras. No, will fix it later. that is why many of todays best recordings are done by the old timers Also overdubbing everything loses all spontaneity of performance. Oh well got to go, have some vinyl to listen to
