Sure you might add some highs or lows to a program but in effect you are messing up the timbre of the audio regardless of how it was recorded. I have also seen shows that were recently recorded from the audience that sound horrible, you would think that the technology availabe today that some decent equipment would be used, ESPECIALLY the microphone . I have tapes that were done in the early 70's that blow many of the newer tapes out of the water, is it just me or is this something others have noticed as well.
