Exactly so. Thank you for the clarification.
When I am making my own recordings, there's always that magic moment
when you bring up the faders on the microphones and you sense the space
in which the performance will take place. I always record a couple of
minutes of room tone, with everyone as silent as possible, so I can splice
in a few seconds worth between tracks on the CD rather than fading to
black when I master the record.

Absolutely correct. For me the first opening of the mikes wasn always a magical moment. I wish more people could experience this and the initial console feed of sound from the studio. It is as John has indicated a wonderful experience

I have said many times, that anyone who has not actually made recordings is not really an audiophile. They have not experienced this magical moment and then have, IMO, absolutely no basis for making any comments about playback of recordings that other people have made, other than their personal enjoyment or fantasies.
