The clock tip is pretty funny. I have a song that highlighted bleed of a click track (even though there were no open mics) that has haunted me for several years. I am finally getting around to re-recording it.

It's not noticeable until the fade at the end of the song, but there it is: tick tock tock tock tick tock tock tock gently whispering in the fade.

It was an issue with the PreSonus Firebox - after I checked the forums, I found out it was pretty common on those units.

Herb, like you, most of my takes are 1st or 2nd - mainly because most of my songs are written and recorded during February Album Writing Month.

And too many tracks, also not an issue writing and recording 14 songs in a month. But, I think this is a downfall of the ease of adding 'just one more track' in BIAB - too many people trying to use too many instruments in their arrangements.
