yeah.......we (recording engineers) do a LOT of "adjusting."

[ok, I don't want to leave it at that.....sounds too snarky. But the reality of professional recordings is that NOT ONE of the commercially available recordings of anyone is just a window onto the performance. There is quite a bit of manipulation of the sound. But the justification is that what we all expect, is a recording that is as exciting and fun as a live performance. Since the recording process itself is rather artificial, many things need to be done just to get things up to acceptable. The analog I'd offer would be the contrast between some picture you just snapped on your phone compared with a photo you see in National Geographic. I'll bet anything you'd pick the National Geographic photo. And those guys do just as much to capture and manipulate in post as we do.]
