I suppose that's why people keep showing up here asking how to get their
stuff to sound as good as stuff from that bygone era, the production
capabilities of which you dismiss. Have you ever actually done a full-on
production with the likes of a good analog deck and a good console?
Something like a Studer and an API? An Otari and a Trident 80 Series?

Spec sheets do not make, produce, or record and mix music. Lots of
comtemporary production can't hold a ****pot for lots of stuff done
thirty years ago.
