Well when I say it's not my opinion it's because it's just my work goal. As I've said before I know it's done on a regular basis.
Dan I've done a fair amount of recording and I won't do punch ins. I'll re-due the whole track but of course I'm not getting paid so usually have the option. For me I just don't get that euphoria I get from nailing a track all the way through. There's disappointment for me if I miss it. This self imposed pressure has made me much better at what I do. I hear way too much "Oh we'll fix it in the mix". I'm like bobflatpicker I don't type so well so sometimes I don't get my point across well. I should have just answered the persons question instead of trying to give side advice. It can be way too easy ,with the tools we have, for a new person just learning the trade to get caught up in the compiling of bits and pieces. My piano teacher always said learn the rules then you can break them. Not until. Strive to do complete tracks then if need be compile.
BTW I had to punch in 6 times so this post is a compilation of my best typing.
