but if an engineer is good at doing his/her job why should they need to replace everything. That doesn't sound very professional to me that sounds like they are covering up shoddy work. Which is kind of silly because it makes the whole process a million times easier if you just lay down a good sound as opposed to going back through every beat and hit and replacing it. Not to mention the process of finding the sample you like from the millions available.
In my experience in music and just in general it's easier to just take the time to do things right in the first place than it is to cut corners and fix it later.
