I've heard/read the same being true of VHS tape for audio. There are two significant problems; one being the lack of control and monitoring audio signal levels and the other being the use of agc (automatic gain control) circuits which cannot be disabled. The result of no monitor/control is hit and miss attempt at input signal levels even if using an external mixer. The result of acg is a compressed recording meaning loss of dynamics. Musical passages meant to be quiet become louder and passages meant to be louder become quieter.
