Quality of recording


Sparked by @jumia 's post about the quality of recording...

I wonder how often recording engineers tweak recordings to sound best on the kind of system they think most of their listeners will have, as opposed to going for "pure" audio quality.

I'd say most all of them do that want to sell any quantity of music; nobody is depending on audiophiles to sell music to except for MoFi and the like.... 

I know back a few decades ago - they might still do, I dunno -  producers would often listen to their mixes on relatively crappy systems, knowing that that's what most people would hear them on, or in their car, and try to get it to sound best for that.
