I got my latest issue of Mix the other day and ran across a darn good article
on Bill Putnam, I remember his name but never really looked into his work or
good deeds to the recording world.
Sure did quite a bit for many areas of the engineers side of the glass, first
8-track recorder and multi input mixer (more than just a few channels), cool
stuff indeed. I also think that the statement he made about analog going out
was very for-seeing.
I agree that a great analog mic pre and/or mixer is my big dream but I also
think that DAWs compliment them and will continue to improve and leave tape
behind (no offense to the tape guys out there). I think that it makes things
more affordable for a real quality studio I.E. more cash for higher spec rooms
etc.
Just a thought
