Back in the early 80s, computers were in their infancy and extremely slow. How did all those bands synch up the tracks to get that tight, non-human digital sound?

Producers back in the 80s and decades before had to be very good at their jobs. If a singer or band did not sound good, they were usually told so and replaced.

It was really amazing! - Bands actually learned how to play their instruments. The digital sounds you speak of were synthesizers - actually played by a human. Imagine that.
Have you ever heard of reel-to-reel tape? It was used into the early ninety's as a staple in recording. It's still used for the warm analog sound by some of the big producers. But, now music really isn't the same - so be it.
