Default Anything you think was consistently done better in the past inthe pro/commercial recording world than how it's done today?

that risk profile. See Rick Beato on Youtube for details ( "How
Computers Ruined Music")


That's how pop music has always been. Menudo. The Monkees.

Hell, just about any time any actress sang in a Hollywood movie, her
voice was replaced with Marni Nixon's.

Why is the dialogue in film way too low in level and unintelligible?


Because we don't have big dubbing stages any more. People mix films in
tiny closets so that the mix will translate into someone's living room.
Show that film in a big auditorium with a second reverb time and you
won't be able to make out any of the words.
