In a recent thread about analog signal chain, I've posted this affirmation:
The why is often more important than how !
It made me think of all those split seconds decisions we make while tracking and mixing.

I think you're absolutely right Marco. I've come back around to that conclusion, thanks to that mic configuration I've got now, it's possible. Get the best you can at recording, mix levels, small adjustments should be done.
I did rely on fixing in the mix way too much again up until now.
