Well, you should definitely check out Geoff Emerick's Here, There and Everywhere, to get a good idea of what recording was like in the 60s. You can read the entire prologue here.
As for the early days of digital, computers (in the traditional sense) weren't really part of the equation that much. First of all, even when digital editing was starting to be used, things were very much like 95% analog (meaning analog consoles, tape, and analog processing).
Later on, there were digital consoles such as the Sony DMX R100 (or later on the Sony OXF-R3) and the Euphonix System 5 (which was later bought by Avid and is the basis for their current S6) and the Euphonix R1 digital recorder, or the Radar system (which still exists). This allowed to make pretty elaborate recordings and mixes, with very minimal need for a computer.
As far as personal experience goes, I was very much attempting my first digital recordings back in 2002 (on what I imagine was a probably a Pentium II or something like that. A hard drive with less than 2gb, probably less than a gb of RAM). There were no affordable interfaces like there are today (well, the Mbox existed I guess, but it was well beyond what I could afford then), so I used my sound card (a SoundBlaster 16, at first), with shitty miniplug inputs.
On the very first album thing I recorded, I didn't even have a DAW. I was using Sony Vegas, a video editing software, because I noticed it had four audio tracks that could be used simultaneously. Up until then, all the other digital audio software I had (such as Cool Edit Pro), was not multitrack yet.
I knew nothing, I had no plugins (and Vegas probably didn't support them), but ignorance is bliss. Now there is an overload of information: not knowing anything now you can jump on YouTube and in five minutes find out that there are concepts such as mixing, mastering, compressors, equalitazion, etc, etc.
Back then there was no YouTube, and it would take me a few years to come to learn all that. Yet at the same time, I would learn it from very good places and the info (from professional audio publications, magazines and such) was very high quality and there was no anxiety to learn a ton of things. There was no huge misinformation like there is now (anyone can publish a ton of nonsense that seems legit).
I was using FL Studio back when it was called Fruity Loops (that's what the FL stands for), then Cool Edit Pro had basic support for multitracks and I could have a lot more than 4 tracks, which was awesome. Then it became Adobe Audition, which I still use today.
So yeah, by working with limitations of the technology that you have, you learn a few things. Patience among them, and to be creative in making the most of what you have.
I know that If I had to, I could make an entire mix with just 4 tracks (just like The Beatles did).
