Interesting, had never thought on this consciously but, doing it, I see that I first go to any player preset and, from it, I remove most of the mechanical noises and even some mics, as happen with VSL pianos, where I remove or set very low any room mic. I prefer always close mics and player perspective.
Then, for the rest of presets, I use to take a look around, but usually end playing player modified presets.
