you have to wonder what we've forgotten about recording techniques in the past 60 years.
Proper recording has not been forgotten, it has just been abandoned in popular music as recording gimmicks are necessary to sell bad music.

There is a tendancy at the moment to applaud artists for making a whole album on a laptop. I'm sure the classical genre has some amazing recordings. Also strange that in the late 50's people were less likely to have music systems that could reproduce the recordings in full range or even media in good enough condition to appreciate it.
Now that we have all that advantage we use it to play Old Town Road at full volume on a Friday night.

Without doubt I've come to the same conclusion. There are aspects of the HiFi game that don't make any sense at all. Listen to an album like Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall and you have to wonder what we've forgotten about recording techniques in the past 60 years.
