The difference between real life and a recording involves a lot of things that can't be recorded... directionality of sound, reflections off the walls of the room, distances. A recording isn't intended to be an exact copy of reality. Sound engineers optimize recordings to suit the medium. Mike placement, mixing, sound processing, etc. All these things contribute to making a mix that is more organized than real. It isn't an inferior copy of reality. It's creatively organized sound that might even be better than real.
