You've got to be kidding! For 2 reasons!

1. Again we go about naming artists! Serious vs non serious. Again? Didn't we go through this in the last 14 pages?

2. You mean to tell me that 99% of pop records (CDs) are the band going in, playing together, going out and producing the album as is? Or maybe there is a bit of layering, a bit of effects, a bit of pro tools, a bit of... everything. Any pop album that I know, has gone through 1000s (!!!) of waves to reach that result, inclduing mastering. You mean to tell me that "serious artists" don't use plug-ins, or hard drive recoding, or computers, and play/sing along the band, in one take and take it all home and leave, right?

I would assume (Robin?) that jazz artists might be doing that and bravo! to them, but jazz, exaclty like classical music is made to be played live!
