It isn't:-)   One often works with artists who bring along their
own microphone (often a classic Neumann) and tube mic preamp.
That's fine.

I remember tube recording desks - 24/4/2. Rarely did one
get through a complete session or remix without having to
call maintenance.  On a large session there was usually a
service engineer standing by with hot soldering iron and
a pocket full of tubes.  That's not so fine.

I would not like to go back to those days.
