I never comp (cut/paste)Janice’s vocal. She’s always nails it on the first or second take. When she says she’s ready to record she means it smile

But I’m a comping fool when it comes to RT’s and RD’s. My objective is to get fills, turnarounds, intros, outros and short solos that at best support the vocal and at worst do not distract from it. I always feel presumptuous comping great BiaB studio musician’s tracks but what the heck it “seems” to enhance the production. And, yeah, I did it during my early cut/splice tape days also although with very minimal edits. I don’t miss that.
