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.
