The way I understand it, is because most audio people are not engineers and they use their ears to listen. The colorization of certain mics may distort the sound in a pleasant way and they judge it by that. I would use a measurement mic to record anything (if I could afford it) and then rather process the signal afterwards. This would be the epitome of high fidelity audio engineering, or so is my understanding. > Is the color that's being added by expensive special purpose > intrument/vocal mics the reason?
