sorry, no mixing here.You are still mixing production with reproduction.
Production: effects - artistic process. If done well it sells.
Reproduction: effects - bad.
Just haven't seen the slightest trace of proof for the "reproduction - bad" part. AFAICS, that is some sort of "objective legend" ... repeated ad-nauseam too
because "too much of a good thing" is usually not a good thing...Besides if H2 is sooo great why don’t producers are adding even more of it and save us the trouble adding it randomly during reproduction. It would sell even better according to you.
Btw, if anyone wants to get rid of distortion: AI may be able to do that for you (soon). https://crowdunmix.org/the-best-way-to-recover-audio-distortion-using-ai/
True and a very good point!.. there are composers who have deliberately broken with the science of harmony (I hope I got the English expression right). And even what might be taboo and odd sounding today, might be en vogue tomorrow.
That's art and rightfully so.
But not engineering.
And here we are talking about preferences: whether people like D or not, whether they think that D sounds 'good' or 'bad'.
That is also not engineering!
