And your right in this case too- a lot of my work up til now has been for local bands who simply need a loud and upfront demo for getting gigs, and so recreating how they sound live has been the remit. But I need to start getting used to the fact that in some cases, people are going to be listening to the stuff I record for enjoyment (?) at home and on the ipod etc.mwerden wrote: I would say your audience is the band, their audience, people like that.
So being aware that I need to be more aware is a good start
