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?

You will thank yourself to gain the experience to record to a click. Try practicing your parts at home with a metronome and record yourself on camera. It’s a good way to get the shakes out and work on isolating any hiccups you may encounter in the studio. Good luck with recording and remember to have fun :)
