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

[Justin Macleod]

At the end of the day studio acoustics and equipment are probably better than anything in a reasonable home budget, to say nothing of the experience of the engineers which paying for that time buys you. Acoustically treating a space and calibrating professional grade equipment for optimum results is no small feat. I have read books that say that you couldn't perfectly match what studeos have, you could come close, but not quite. Plus, having detached, objective ears carry your work through its final stages can be of great benefit. 

Hope this helps, 

Justin

Oreo, can you recallanybody that has used the method I have described? And I know this is going to be a very controversial question, but does anybody these days really need to pay for studio time? I mean, you can get pretty professional results using the right equipment in a home studio, depending on the equipment you use.

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.

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.
