[@guylabelle1050]

I enjoyed this very much, it's useful to see your workflow on this simple example

Disagree with "always use a click track!" but the rest is cool! You stay safe! (Oh, yeah, I look stupid, I'm realising I made obvious the fact tht I'd seen 5 percent of the video on last comment. My bad!)

[@StubertStudios]

It is perfectly fine to disagree, however, for instance, you play 2 verses but for whatever reason, you want to swap 1 instrument from verse 1 to verse 2 or vice versa, if you have recorded to a click, this will work and sound great, if you have not used a click then this is virtually impossible to do. But it does take some getting used to initially. But i do understand that it doesn't work for everyone. Thankyou for your support.

@@StubertStudios Yeah... In that case I justredo the take... Which can be very time consuming! But I've gotten a little tired of the "click sound". I know you don't hear the actual click, but you still get this kind of mechanical feeling to the track, and you kind of lose the humane "whoopsies" kind of thing, which is actually kind of cool... A rock song, per se, has GOT (imho) to get faster as it goes on! What I do now (caution, real b-word to put into place) : I record a first "reference track", that kind of acts as a synthesis of all of the guitars : the point is just to make sure you have a track with stuff going on ALL the time. Then, I record my other tracks using my reference track as a click. And kick the reference track out the mix! Its sole purpose is to have a "human" metronome. But yeah, if you screw up (which is increasingly likely to happen as your songs/takes are long and complicated, which, honestly, is frequently the case with my stuff) well, there is no solution apart from staring over! (At least if you have my setup). I guess if you have an audio interface and are recording directly into the computer, then you could just start rerecording or punching in whatever you have to. It's alos a technique that makes using a delay with a "musical value" (you name it 1/8th, dotted 1/8th, 1/16th, etc.) kind of compicated, if not impossible. Anyways... Long comment!

@@OmeteotlBand I understand all your points and yes it is exceptionally hard to add a delay afterwards if not recorded to a grid. If you have some spare time, check out my band : Atlantic Reach. www.youtube.com/@AtlanticReach-StubertStudios. Everything on there was recorded to a click.

Yo! Is that an RI-52 Telecaster in the background?

[@StubertStudios]

on the wall is an ibanez bass ( left ) & a les paul ( right ) style guitar.

[@StubertStudios]

The tele I used is a US made from around 2000

[@OmeteotlBand]

@@StubertStudios I think mine's from '97. Anyhow... Small chance we have the same!

[@StubertStudios]

@@OmeteotlBand They are great guitars
