This is sort of a broad question, but folk-ish recordings back in the late 50s and early 60s sound so good. They are not as crisp and in "in your face" as new recordings. Take Dylan's first few albums for example. Does anyone know how many microphones they were using typically back then and how they were placed? Sometimes it sounds like just one mic, at other times I hear vocals on one side and guitars on the other. Does anyone have any tips for getting these kind of sounds with today's digital equipment?
