Going OT I know, but... Reading some of the recording-oriented forums
lately, like Gearslutz, one of the things producers and engineers these
days are bemoaning is that many artists *won't* go back and do punch
ins and retakes.  Too many artists now, particularly singers it seems,
expect to walk in, do one take-it-or-leave-it take, and tell the  
engineer,
"You can fix it with Pro Tools, right?".

But I know what you mean.  Although you do have to make allowances
for things that just aren't possible to do live.  I don't think  
anyone would
begrudge Delia Derbyshire the Doctor Who theme just because she put
it together one note at a time.
