That is good point the Tonmeister degree (Music) in Germany is very hard to get.
They have to play at least Piano as far as I know and have to play arrangements (out of their head) from orchestra scores. Like the conductors have to train it too.
But anyway the the musicians job is not the Tonmeister job even in classical music.
Maybe they have similar skills but at a certain point they would fail because of all the technical stuff a Tonmeister was trained too.
So in my ideal recording world the enginner does his job and the muscians takes care for good music. They both work together the engineers try to come the musicians wishes as near as he can during recording and mixing. But show me one firs t violin player who cared about the recorded sound..... I think you can search a long time.
