This makes a lot of sense for your perspective! Nicely put.
Just for contrast, as live sound and recording engineer who is not a musician but DO read music, much of my work is to record a performance and make it sound good as a recording - thus I have nothing to ork with except what they played live and the way they played it. So I bet I could do a nice job mis=xing what you sent me if that were to happen.
I don't understand musicians recording themselves, except as economy move, but then that is because I am not a musician, and would never change the arrangement given me to work with. That is producing or re-arranging, not engineering, to me.
Thus the title of this thread might be: What are you, mixing engineer, recording engineer, or a musician who does it all yourself???
Personally I like the old British term balance engineer.
