I think for the most part, most producers and artists (who want to make a living with their art) and most consumers want a good product and don't care about the finer details of it all.

Then there are the purists among them who want not only a great product but they want it to be genuine. I personally like it to be genuine. Well. Usually.

If I were trying to be a great singer songwriter, I would not want software enhancements. However, if what I am trying to do is to get people to appreciate the songs rather than my singing and out of necessity I had no choice but to do the singing, it would not bother me to use enhancements.

It's the same thing with the notation software I use. I can't play all the instruments I compose for. I can't afford to hire musicians to play it either, but I can use software to produce the audio I need so others can hear the compositions. It isn't musicianship I am promoting but rather the composition.

Also, suppose someone wants everything to be genuine, and most of it is but there are a few notes slightly off and time and/or financial constraints won't allow a remake, would it be wrong to use the software to fix a few notes?
