You also shouldn't take what I'm saying as
something that says "stop recording" because that wouldn't be the
idea I'm trying to get across. Both are avenues to musical
fulfillment, but creating songs worth recording is much harder to
do and takes more work. --

tHis is why I tell folks whom I plan to record that the real work
should be on the front end before they come into the studio.

I've had two projects over the years that I tried like crazy to get
the artists to give me permission to submit a cut to the r.a.p
compilations, neither would say yes. both were minimalist drum micing
set ups, and both I felt I could have done a better quality job with
either better mics or slightly differnt placement. YEt both are
magical in the final product because the performers made the magic
happen. I just hit the buttons and placed the mics.

Btw in the first case I would have submitted my mix pre mastering.
THe lead guitar guy insisted on his shot at mixing it down and the
vocals were too low, then they normalized and processed the crap out
of it in mastering.

IF you want magic to truly happen with your recordings get the talent
in front of the microphone to create it. Your job is capturing it,
but it isn't going to be there no matter how well you do your job
recording if it isn't coming from the fingers/mouths/other noises that
the performers emit.
