I've specialized in live 'location' recording for decades. I'm not particularly interested in multi-track studio recording, although it can be fun, but there's just too much grunt work involved which doesn't interest me as an ongoing career endeavor. On the other hand, I'm happy, and actually energized, by setting a bunch of mics and speakers and mixing board stuff for a live event. To me, it's the creativity in the moment that I like. But put me in a studio with 30 tracks to mix and no musicians around playing music - yawn.
That's not to say that I don't appreciate, admire and even revere the work of top studio engineers. Some of their work is absolutely wonderful audio art.
On the other hand, there are a lot of both close-mic'd and minimally mic'd recording which absolutely suck from a sonic/soundscape perspective.
