RE: If the recording is "flat, grey and sterile" ...

And no one (at least I am not) proposing to "correct" for anything.

There are far fewer really poor recordings (outside of pop/rock that is) than people realize.

Even though I do not agree with all that Audio Note, UK, has to say, their discussion that a system should give you maximum contrast from recording to recording is pretty informative. Recordings have a HUGE variety of different sounds and if your system in any way homogenizes them then it is somehow wrong. So, if you are finding a lot of recordings sound flat, grey and boring way...beware that something is likely wrong.

I have made quite a number live recordings, have you? I know live sound intimately from years of exposure and recording. The sound I got is never grey or flat or sterile...even when using DAT tape. I still use some as reference material.
