Today we have effects that add tape hiss... lol

I think the old recordings pound for pound were better than today because of how limited they were, imagine having to "bounce" tracks...what cave man was doing that.

They used to have built in noise reduction dolby were the makers of that. When you pressed it everything went foggy and bassy.

But it's deseriable if you are doing a song talking about those periods, or sometimes they are good for guitar to give it a real feeling in the digital world.
