I guess it was about 1979 or so when our recording studio (at the
University of Arizona) acquired a 24 track machine and a digitally
controlled mixing board. The extra track(s) were control tracks for the
mixer. As I recall, the information on those control tracks were specific
to the mixer we were using at the time.
