Having learned recording on an all digital rig I have never had answers to some of my analog recording questions.
What I would like to know is, in a big studio when running into a large mixing board how can you mix in post. I'll use drums to clarify... You have your high hat on fader 1, kick on 2, and snare on 3. After you record the drums how is it that you can still mix tracks independently. What do you record into that will allow your mixer to work with each individual track? If you were recording into a reel to reel, then how would the reel to reel know where to assign each track in playback? Am I making any sense? Once upon a time (ten years ago), did folks mix everything in real time?
