I agree Mac.
I have a lot of Acoustic songs which I've never been able to overdub my vocals well.
When I sing and play at the same time, I get my best performance.
Each time I sing one of my songs the vocal inflections and timing always have small changes.

In my old analog days I would just leave one or two mics setup and let the tape roll for as long as an hour, pausing for a drink of water or an adjustment.

Also, a good point was made about the Toe Tapping.
I played with a guy who always stomped his foot. Boom, boom, boom. In the end, we sat down on a futon on the floor and played together. lol

I still only use one Mic when I record myself. Maybe I'm just not that picky, but I prefer the better performance to perfect sound.
When I'm done, just a touch of reverb and compression.

I'm working on getting my acoustic playing back now. My next recordings will be Acoustic Guitar and Vocals. We'll see how my voice is now after over 10 years.

Wayne,
