but if a vocalist is going to come in and either replace all the vocals, or do them all from scratch, most engineers would by far prefer to do them in a nice sounding room rather than a dead tiny booth.

It seems to me that engineers do it a certain way because it works. If recording in any room they wanted (possible for some) was better. It seems that they'd do it that way. Dead room plus effects is preferred probably because it's convenient and because it works.

I always felt that stray pubic hairs and the smell of urine just pushes people to reach for greater heights in their musical creativity.

That's why they used to record in outhouses back in the analog days. Didn't you guys know that?

It's where people used to go to record their vocals back in the 1700s.

Yup.. they stilll had to hang a couple of beaver pelts to deaden the sound though...Have we really come so far?

Kind of like synth strings vs. real strings. The real thing sometimes works even better.
