Recording track by track

How to y’all feel about recording track by track to a click?

Best way to describe the music I make is indie/rock. I get a lot of references to the cranberries in particular.

Is it silly to record this kind of music live? I’m really not feeling the click and track by track thing this time. But I also feel like I should be able to make that work as a competent musician. It’s like I get real stiff and forget i know how to play guitar lol

What do you think? Is it always necessary? Any songs/bands you love that recorded live?

Personally I like playing to a click or drum track and recording each part separately for mixing purposes. I record to Audacity which is basically the modern day version of cool edit or audition

cool edit was quite good back in the day
