Kevin McCloskey posted this in The Reverse Engineer community and it was a super interesting thread... so posting here too!
Comment below with you biggest unpopular audio opinions... don't hold back 😈
I'll start with a couple:
1) Most gear preferences in the industry are baseless and random. People just follow the crowd and are easily influenced into think things sound "better".
2) Seemingly in contrast to the above... anything other than an SM57 on a snare is a waste of time. We're so used to this sound that it immediately sounds "right" to us.
