I doubt any audio/music refinement studio technique are used for impressing listeners ;-), but I must say I enjoy the resulting music as much as I enjoy the "hands-on jazz player" craft. I regard modern studio music production as an art form in its own right (to me it kind of equals "tweaking effect boxes"). I like to produce with those tools myself, but I wouldn't confuse it with the improvisational performance of music. In my book these two crafts are complementary and although they bleed over a bit both methods will let the musician (yes, I regard the studio as an instrument as well) do tricks that would not be possible with the other context.
