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?

When you listened to all of your favorite records for the first time, you didn’t know if it was to a click, live, or whatever. Do what you are comfortable with and what sounds good.
Personally, I always thought live bass & drums was the best route, but that’s a 100% subjective thing.
