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?
That's not what I was referring to. Artists might not be able to nail each song in one take, and might combine a few takes to get the part "perfect," but if they're at all decent, they can actually play the parts they write well. Otherwise seeing them live would be a miserable experience.
