I preferred one and sometimes another over their heads feeding the chamber. Cal Harris, my mentor, always did separate but the rest of us stuck with single. (Cal had started out at Western Recorders and Gold Star in LA recording the Beach Boys vocal overdubs among others.)

Before we went to cans in '65, I understand people gathered around the mike listening to the band track on the A-7 playback speaker.
