That was a very enjoyable read, thank you Myles for posting that. I found the statements about not having any EQ to work with I believe he was talking about the late 50s very interesting. The fact that they had to get the mike placements and types set just right and then engineer things properly is one of the reasons so many of the recordings from that time period are so good.

Yes and getting it right started with the recording space. Today, the attitude is fix it later rather than up front. It's like cooking: ingredients are everything; you really can't fix the taste after.
But basically it all comes down to money; with union rates being the way they are, time is money and they have to bang out the recording in as little time as possible.
