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

[theoreomonster at reaperaccess.com]

Both methods are often used its just  matter of which you are comfortable with. Though some will argue if you need to think about the parts you are gonna play before recording  them the song isn’t done being written yet. However since you are recording on your own its not like you are paying for studio time to write/record so rock on with which ever works.

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.

>> Hi list.

>> So, I am in the process of recording an album of solo piano music into Reaper. Is it a good idea to record each part of a song separately? I don't mean the lead and the accompaniment tracks separately, that's a no brainer. I mean, record one phrase, then pause, record another phrase of a measure, then pause, etc? This way fewer mistakes are made in the recording process, and I have time to think about what I am going to play before I play it.
