When audio studios were analog, they needed to have someone on staff, whose job it was (among other things) to keep the analog tape recorders properly aligned and maintained. For example, general maintenance for tape recorders would include having the heads degaussed daily, since residual magnetism could cause the heads to self-erase a portion of the recorded signal, and the heads would also need to be cleaned with alcohol and cotton swabs multiple times during the day.
