Recording also made much greater demands on musicians when you didn't have all of the fix it technology. It meant people simply needed to perform better.

THERE!! YOU NAILED IT!!!
For me, that's why on some specific project I like to work on tape with no DAW involved. To force the musician and engineer to give their best right now... So everyone gets into the song more deeply, cause we wont fix it later.
A drum track can be edited to death, but "GUTS", it's there or it's not.
