Funny you would say that i should see it, as by chance i own a recording studio and been doing this for 32 years..;-)
However, when creating recordings you utilize correction gear all day long to create the recording, be it microphones, Equalizers, Compressors/Limiters, effects and what not. You use them to get the sound YOU want to hear.
In a listening environment you attempt to play back the Recording as faithfully as possible. Totally different paradigm.
ANY recorded material is already a MANIPULATED representation of nature by definition.
A listening room is meant to FAITHFULLY reproduce the Recorded material.
