Unfortunately, this exceptional cleanliness is produced via a huge

a sense, "natural." The problem with this is that the edits where

But would you really prefer to hear that flubbed note every time you
listen to the same track? As for taking the life out of it by excessive
editing, that, IMHO, is what a producer is for: to make sure that the
recording has life. To know where to make the call, in other words.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. The littlest mistake
sometimes bugs me, when I listen to the same recording over and over.
I'm talking about major names here. Nobody plays perfectly. That being
said I enjoy funky live recordings a lot, especially if I had been
there.
