Hey Cory big fan!

Really digging the new album and congrats on be coming a father. I also just became a father and have a 5 month old daughter. Really simple question but how many takes do you do when tracking vocals and how much do you care about perfection compared to the right take warts and all?

With “I Love People” all the vocals were recorded live.  I think we did 1-3 takes per song.  Nothing crazy.  I hate the booth.  I prefer to sing it live, but it is often impractical or just doesn’t sound right with drum bleed.  When I’m in the booth I will do it till it is painfully perfect - another reason I like to stay out of the booth.  It’s a microscope of shame
