amey01, I think you're on to something, but... If you consider a small rock gig, each guitar might have it's own amp/speaker. In this case, there isn't even a single "live signal" to record. You need to mix it right there before recording, or record to tracks and mix later. Either way, there is no such thing as an objectively correct mix. But it's worse than that. Live signals, even those recorded with a single pair of microphones, are almost always processed later to sound "better" in a "domestic system". The ones that aren't are, I would argue, the ones that sound like live performances. Precious, precious few since recording engineers like to "add value". This is the real issue you are hearing. And if you think about your own bet (guess) above, this must be IMO the logical conclusion.
