Word Chetatkins,
The sound people are looking for from the VU records has nothing to do with the recording equipment and everything to do with the raw product. Lots of artists in the 60s would have loved to have access to modern day technologies, but then, would we have the velvet underground that we love? I think spending less time focusing on how your music will sound after it is played, should come after if one can actually dig it. All of us would love to have all of that mystical 60s equipment that created these gems, but maybe what is needed is the magical 60s drive to create and disregard for hacks and businessmen. Also, the Velvet Underground didn't waste time on websites asking strangers how to sound heavy. They just ****ing did it.
