Commercial studios process on the way in, because the sound to them is better.

Thats a bold statement.
It all depends on the song, the track, the effects, and the engineer.
I've seen (in very few cases) a commercial studio process the track on the way in.
This is however more common in small home studio's.
It really depends on what it needed for the track.
This is just my take on this subject (YMMV)
If you track with effects/ processing you can't undo it.
I feel the benifits of tracking dry (no processing) far outweigh the ease of tracking with effects.
You will have a much stronger, more usable track if you track dry.
most pro studio's tend to prefer it done that way.
You can always monitor with effects and still print dry.
that way you don't limit the flexability of your track.
...because nobody wants to recut the tracks they have already done because they used an effect that later downstream doesn't work well in the song.
