Uh... I'm a certified
old guy, did my first overdub in 1964 (at a ripe young age, mind you, I didn't start working commercially until the 80s), I've owned 5 analog multitrack tape decks, and I guarantee you,
that is not how
I remember analog.
I mean, sure, if you were
pingponging BU vox, maybe saturating the tape, there's a sort of limiting process going on. But if you simply had 8 or 10 tracks of BU vox and you start bringing up the faders on more and more tracks your buss level goes up.
I still use an analog board most every day I record, and I guarantee you the basic principles governing this have
not been repealed.
