This is why I like to use first takes. If I make a big blunder I will punch-in/punch-out. I do not record/sing my parts over 3-to-n times and cut and paste the good parts together. My philosophy is if you can't play/sing the song in one perfect or almost perfect take then you need to practice the song more. This is just me and YMMV.

PS-no offense intended for those who use other recording techniques. This is just my opinion and you may or may not agree.

Ditto. We do one or two vocal takes at the most. When Janice says she's ready to record she is, well, ready smile We learned years ago that after that a little something is lost with each take. It may be technically correct but some of the excitement and edge is gone. And the live feel that we strive for is diminished.

FWIW,

Bud
