"pale by comparison" means poor in comparison with something else. "The early sound recordings made before and during the first half of the twentieth century were popular, and they did convey the sound and style of the performers, but they PALE IN COMPARISON [or PALE BY COMPARISON] WITH [or TO] modern digital recordings". I hope that explains it, if not, be more specific with your question.
