Are we not recording music where a true representation of a performane is the goal?

The drums will always be louder than live viola for instance. I don't see the point of recording the viola as hot as possible so that it sounds as loud or louder than the drums.

As I said before there is plenty of room in 24 bit to get adequate signal to noise while still recording an accurate balance of what it actually going on in the room.
