Many musicians aren't audio engineers, so for musicians playing in the

pedestrian zone nowadays it's a wise message, but for musicians that

want to survive these days, it's just ignorant and scornfully against

the audio engineers. Thinking about the abilities of different recording

techniques isn't nonsense. Thinking about what customers want,

especially those who are willing and able to pay a lot of money, IOW

esoteric audiophiles isn't nonsense. If you make good music and you or

somebody else record it, that even esoteric audiophiles are satisfied,

that IMO is a good thing and always better than to work for the Grand

Prix Eurovision de la Chanson and other bad things.
If you don't make it your business, then I agree, it's nonsense to take

care about other people.
You have to walk a tightrope, regarding to ethics, if you want to live

from music. Sometimes you have to do less good things, but it's better

to stop this business instead of working for people you condemned or

learn to respect those customers.
