It depends on who records it. If they do things at a good level with decent gear the libraries sound great. Some people record their sample libraries at values higher than -10LUfs and when it’s time to mix down you wonder why it’s bad. Then you spend more time trying to compress those and sounds and clean up with the EQ. If something was recorded at levels too loud it kills the headroom in your mix.
The other argument is if you have a deadline you use what you can. Because you are 4 hours from that deadline and the rough mix isn’t even done yet.
You don’t have to use everything in the construction kit. Just take what you need. I’m not a pro yet but I’ve worked on musical deadlines years ago and back then stylus RMx the loops and mix down. Both parties are happy and you’re smoking a cigarette in shame .
