True enough.  We have become accustomed to all that processing.  But it 
doesn't
NEED to be done and often is done differently than what was done to squeeze
soundwaves in LP grooves.  Still, for commercial reasons, much processing 
is
still done in order to make music "radio-friendly" or to compete against 
all the
other songs on the radio.  Such processing wrecks ambient music, among 
other
genres.
