How did we survive before digtal editing???

I'm sure that's exactly what Rascal Flatts' producer told their lead singer
I suppose, but dang, that's a lot of tracks to record a Ringo set! How could the drummer avoid hitting mics every 5 seconds?
Too funny, JimmyM... haha!!!

Non-linear video editing was a positive gamechanger with no downside. You never see video editors longing for the days of tape-to-tape. 
Like it was said in the Sound City documentary (and I'll paraphrase), ProTools too easily put recording tools in the hands of bozos who had no business having it... and the wonderful music industry has shown this ever since.

And then he didn't do it properly I guess... haven't listened to that track myself...I'm sure that's exactly what Rascal Flatts' producer told their lead singer
I mean... if you're not sure what sound you're going for, are working in a new room / with new (to you) gear, I guess. Otherwise, track it how it's supposed to sound is my m.o.
I guess we just didn't know from it. Can't miss what isn't there
I had the same general thought when we got our first microwave oven.
okcrum
in your chest

NLE was around long before tape went away in video. The editors loved it, relative to stuff like EdiTec and other manual methods (especially when they had a tape operator to load all the tape for them

The sight of 4-6 videotape machines plus an MM1000 and an AG440 cueing, syncing, and rolling up to an edit was something.

If he's hitting both sets of room mics and overheads there are lots of problems with his playing. He's not going to hit either kick drum mic, nor the bottom snare, and he'd have to try really hard to hit the hat mic. The triggers (for 808 sounds they insisted having as an option) are kept out of the way, so the only ones in the line of fire are the top snare and two tom mics.
So you only had one mic per drum and not like 4 or 5 pointed at each?
I'm not insane.So you only had one mic per drum and not like 4 or 5 pointed at each?
I only use three.So you only had one mic per drum and not like 4 or 5 pointed at each?
This thread has been in my head each morning as I edit my radio show... Without digital editing, I'd be lost.
I've done audio tape/razor/tape editing with talking and stuff like that--but multi track music?
That would be tricky.
I got quite good at synching up the audio of a person speaking but never tried it with multi track music.
Digital is way easier.
& quicker.
