  • Exactly. Plus the common use of mastering at the time was to optimize the recorded audio for printing on a vinyl disc, and if the grooves were too deep or the transitions too sharp it could cause the needle to skip out of the track.

    If your average listener is going to be listening on a mono device then a smart thing to do would be to pan one thing consistently to one side and the other to the other as the mono needle isn’t going to care where it’s getting its vibrations from. That would give you more resolution and more depth for the cut, as long as the final disc was only played in mono.

    I’m not saying that’s the case for every recording but I’m pretty sure it has happened quite a few times back then while they were still figuring everything out.





  • It’s sort of like how you can create a pretty good text message on your phone using voice to text but no courtroom is allowing AI transcription.

    There’s still too much risk that it will capitalize the wrong word or replace a word that’s close to what was said or do something else wholly unconceived of to trust it with our legal process.

    If they could guarantee a 100% accurate transcription of spoken word to text it would put the entire field of Court stenographers out of business and generate tens of millions of dollars worth of digital contracts for the company who can figure it out.

    Not going to do it because even today a phone can’t tell the difference between the word holy and the word holy. (Wholly)
