in the 80s we used to have 2 VRs in LA -- many hits were in fact recorded on VRs and SSL Es - they were the only consoles with automation and you had to have either if you wanted to be 'world class'. after demoing both we decided on the VRs, which did sound better than Es, but alot worse than the Trident 80Bs they replaced!
yes, hits were made on those - and sure you can mix on them, but i sure don't like to . FWIW, ALL the engineers that had worked on the 80Bs before we installed the Neves preferred the 80Bs after hearing the difference... but we started getting all the big accounts after the VRs.
