So, I have no idea how 24 or 48 or 4 trax are put together. Meaning how on earth did Bernie and assoc. take all of these overdubs and place them precisely without flaw? For instance with S's? There is never a time when I hear the multi-tracked harmonies out of sync. No s's s's, no mm mm no tut tut t't . The only place I hear that is on a couple of the Magic Lamp singles off From The Top. Well excused...young genius nevertheless. So in layman's terms how is this mastery assembled. Another question? Mastering? Later Richard or Jack back in the day hired top notch engineers apparently cuz on several other artists recordings I often hear the inept attempt to achieve same production. I can't understand how ultimate perfection was achieved at every turn. I've always been fascinated by this bravado. Finding an early attraction being a perfectionist from childhood I instantly recognized this technique. Then there's the "voice". Timeless muse, wizardry, gifted and able to lay every note, every time in place with seeming ease. I must understand making this look easy must be an intensive workout in musicianship and engineering.
I know we have resident authorities. I'd like to hear the input from those in the know for clarity and an even deeper appreciation for the craft of engineering.
