Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then. (lemmy.ml)

The things people did with mixing in the 70s and 80s were revolutionary, and a lot of the sound you hear today was invented in that time. Things like the drum sound in "In the Air Tonight" with compression gating has been used ever since.

Incredible. I’m learning a ton and gaining a huge appreciation of it all thanks to everyone’s comments in this post.
