Watching a video about "Bohemian Rhapsody" creation and the guy mentions something that makes me doubtful and I think "hmm, could they have had automation then?" and I look it up and amazingly find this in the Wikipedia article on Mix Automation:
"According to record producer Roy Thomas Baker, Queen's 1975 single "Bohemian Rhapsody" was one of the first mixes to be done with automation"
Ha.
So what's the purpose of a hardware channelstrip these days, you say? I'll tell you!
I mainly use mine to make it entertaining for the 3-year old to come into the studio, turn on ALL the lights on the channelstrip and turning it off again. Which means she's actually able, in the age of three, to filter, activate the EQ, position the Comp before/after EQ, activate the de-esser and limit the input. That's pretty cool.
She couldn't do that with a plugin. Just saying :D
