Help with early 1990's reel-Tape Audio Restoration (Reverb) of Vocal Speech with Izotope or AA

Forums

I've cleaned up hundreds of hours of tape recordings, admittedly the easy stuff like humm, clicks, airplanes overhead, etc. So I'm still a totally nube, but I don't even know exactly what it's called when it's like the microphone is too close to their mouth and there is a reverb harshness to each word.

Old School Hip Hop Vocals? (90's)

Forums

I'm about to get started in recording songs but I need to know what equipment to get to get that 90's type of vocal sound.

I have 300$ to buy either a a mixer or mic preamp or whatever I should get to at least get me started. I plan to also buy a Stellar CM5. Something like Too Short - Way to real has that special delay and warm sound that I like.

early 90's digital editing

does anyone know what kind of digital editing techniques were available in the early 90's the time of nirvana, pearl jam, AIC, soundgarden, RATM, tool, korn, green day, STP, etc., did they do most of their editing back then on tape? would the digital interface they used have been the Alesis HD24 or something similar? i believe this was a time before pro tools was really around correct?
