RE: "They're two completely different sounds." I Disagree! +1

Unfortunately many in this hobby haven't had the opportunity to hear a raw recorded track before it's been mixed down.

I have three Double Basses and everybody involved can easily distinguish their difference when comparing raw tracks. Once mixed it becomes more difficult to distinguish between them even though their presence within the mix seems unchanged. The difference in post production studios (the rooms) is impossible for me to hear but some engineers I've worked with say they can. While the playback chain differs greatly in different post production studios I usually find the sound of my instruments startlingly life like.

The point is, that the initial recording and playback process is distinguishable only to a very few. For all intents and purposes the initial raw unmixed recording can be virtually undistinguishable from the event. Remember, the master (tape or file) is mixed down.
