If the goal of a live recording is to record the instruments as faithfully as possible to the source audio, wouldn't a measurement mic with a flat response be preferred over a mic with a response that's not flat?


It depends on the instrument, but mostly it depends on the room you're
recording in. Even though the microphone records sound pressure flat,
you'll find that the sound changes as you move the mic around the room.


Is that a result of room reflections and resonances?
