| Well,
Since the 60's, and if we are talking microphones, the 40's, little has improved in recording technology itself.
What has changed is is to simplfy grossly, the mixing aesthetics and master tape-> consumer chain. Of which the non-generation lossy and noiseless digital technology in all fairness has quite a bit of the honour.
People with accsess to master tapes of the great recordings from the 50's, 60's and 70's are not too impressed by todays fidelity to put it lightly. |
