RE: A recording revolution or back to basics?

They do sound incredible. However, there is one problem. It is limited to specific single-take recording sessions, limited by the type of music, size of the musical group, the acoustics of the venue, and where you can place the microphone, and a host of other logistical issues. It demands much more work (and engineering knowledge) than placing multiple microphones.

I made a multi-track recording of myself playing some Bach, rocked up. I used a Josephson as well. I made separate tracks in a cathedral of a acoustic Harpsichord, Hammond B3, Moog Modular, Minimoog (basslines) and a Yamaha drum kit. Didn't move the mic and just tracked each part separately. So I had to setup all the sound producing parts in the physical location I wanted them in the recorded soundfield. The drums in the "center-back" the Hammond's leslie to the left, the modular synth playback system to the right, the bass synth amp centered-front, with the Harpsichord in the middle of everything. It sounded good, but I ran into issues with the multiple reverberant fields combining in a mix. Each track sounded great, but the reverb fields were causing strange additive effects when mixed, so it was in that regard a failed experiment. It still sounds pretty cool though.
