ALT See, back in the day of the Beatles and others, sound engineers only had tape, level faders and some crude filters. What they had to do, thus, was recording just what they want to hear in the final mix, as their tools for post processing were limited. This is a form of art that has become nearly forgotten, but it still tends to produce the best results, as any sound designer would agree. The call to action for software designers, thus, is clear: Time spent riffing on your domain model or application architecture is time well spent.
