Most of the live recordings that I made were done in analog, typically on a two track Tandberg machine at 7.5 IPS, using a pair of AKG C-451 cardiods. I still have this equipment and used it to transcribe the 1970's vintage recordings to my web site. The piano recordings were pretty close to transparent when played back through a pair of Snell A-IIIs located a few feet from the piano, but only after quite a bit of adjustments to the microphone positions.
As a kid I had a wire recorder. Can you say wow and flutter, especially after passing a knot that had been used to splice a wire break?
