...back in the 70s. Playing chords one note at a time on different tracks; setting up sequencers one note at a time by spinning knobs; 3 or 4 synths just to do the drum sounds...
Today, it's 15 minutes of work. Not then, for sure.
The patience it took to kraft their werk was well beyond what I would have had.
