[Rwp] Recording methods used for professional albums, need advice

Sat Aug 8 17:11:02 EDT 2015

Personally, I'd never! ever! do it that way, but again, you asked for 
opinions, and opinion only this is among many's.  I would find that method 
to take way too long, as then I'd have to sit here and edit everything back 
together which honestly takes away from the time I could be spending 
composing, mixing, masterring, etc.

Just my two cents worth, if it be worth anything.  Probably not, but there 
ya have it anyway.

Chris.
