¿How true would you rate the following statement?
"And speaker-air recordings often sound more exciting and “real” for dubstep anyway."
I have some assets for artists I'm trying to master. I forgot to bring adapters for XLR so it was a speaker-air recording. Someone brought me them later so a second microphone recorder has a direct line in but it seems to have been hot as there's popping and other artifacts despite the higher end being more clear and present. The above statement I read when going through a tutorial.
¿If you had the choice would you always prefer a line-in recording [for dubstep]?
