FWIW.
Sounds like a ProTools killer to me. We'll see.
Given the reputations of the two parties, I'd call it a no-brainer.

Being a good recording engineer means having the skills to produce
the perception of naturalness and reality from recordings that are
anything but. Mics do not hear like ears.
BTW, even in classical, there is a lot of funny biz going on
sometimes. I've only added reverb a couple of times, but we edit
edit edit. One of the Dorian recordings has a reported 3000
edits. yeah that's reality..
