MixOnline Interview

SoundOnSound Interview

I think the highlight of these interviews is not to be obsessed with the cleanliness of sounds as much as the vibes coming from the tunes, IOW:
"When it comes to choosing mixes I usually select them purely on intuition -- on an emotional level. I just use my ears. I've done some mixes that were technically really good but I've ended up using the rougher mixes because they have a nicer quality to them. Essentially, when someone puts on a CD they're not really going to be too impressed by studio technique unless it has a nice emotional quality to it. People don't buy records for sound quality, they buy records for emotional quality."

Think it depends. If you are making rave type music then you need crisp production otherwise it just doesn't pump imo. It's probably different for moby, he's making an album for the music so he can afford to be a bit loose. I'm sure his club tracks have been mastered to perfection though.
