I don't really know anything about sales figures, to be honest with you.

The instruments that bleed into each other are what creates the ambience. Once you start cleaning everything up, you lose it. You lose that sort of halo that bleeding creates. Then if you eliminate the halo, you have to go back and put in some artificial reverb, which is never as good.

You shouldn't really have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound good. It should all be done with microphones and microphone placement.
