The first studio I recorded in, about 1967, had two a two track recorder and an eight channel stereo mixer. We recorded one track with the engineer riding the levels of one to eight mikes, then played that track back and added bits and pieces here and there with up to eight mikes on the second track, mixing the two tracks together for a mono 45 single. I think they used the same equipment for live recording but with two tracks with four mikes each. Live recording was pretty rare and primitive where I was...
