| I see.. I was just interested in knowing.. I thought that would be the first thing I'd try to do if time travel existed.. I'd take back a copy of Nero and I dunno, maybe some of the anthem like trance, to a producer then, and say here, lets do this.. and then go crazy in the studio.. I didn't know if it was possible or not.. |

Your main stumbling block would be 24 bit headroom I suspect.
Slamming is as much a creative tool as a mixing one now. |

And the fact that we preferred music with some dynamic range back then. Oh, and we liked Debbie Boone.
Yeah, I'm that old. :( |

It all depends on which era you're talking about. If you're talking early 70s, then no, most synths didn't have those features contained in one unit, but as I said above, that wouldn't necessarily stop you from getting the desired results using multiple pieces of gear and some not-so-unusual production techniques. By the mid-80s, one decent polysynth and one cheap Alesis FX unit would give you more than you'd ever need to create today's sounds. Hell, people are doing exactly that with their vintage synths as we speak - that's why the prices on vintage synths are outa control. |
Still was not in the realm of possible. A typical noisia Reece has more going on than any studio could cater. Wont say impossible, but consider how many channels one would need and how it would be very unlikely that someone would bounce something 50 times on a hunch. Only a select few had the resources and funds. |

Yup, that's what I said:

I grew up with vinyl and reel-to-reel. 8-tracks and cassettes came later. Geoff and Darek know what I'm talking about, right? |

Fook yeah
I gave up making music when the 8 track digital ADATs started to appear as it was just to much hassle and expense. I recall it was about £3k for an ADAT, for 8 channels of digital audio. And that was without a mixer.
To get anything approaching even the most basic cut down DAW from today would have cost you about £20-30k twenty years ago.
Then in 2006 I just happened across the demo version of Fruity Loops 7 (I think it was) and played the Blake Reary demo. Talk about eye opener.
Kids these days, they don't know what they have do they? ;) |
