Before this turns ugly let me make this perfectly clear:
I AM NOT LOOKING DOWN MY NOSE AT ANYONE.
It's just my opinion that time, in a lot of cases, would be better spent on your vocal/instrument chops verses your compilation skills.

Like I said it's my opinion & actually it's not really an opinion.



Now hold on John, is it your opinion or not your opinion. I'm getting confused. LOL!

Nothing is getting ugly, it's just different ways of doing things. Comping a vocal does not necessarily mean you're not an accomplished vocalist. It doesn't automatically mean you're not good enough. Should everyone practice their instrument and be the best they can? Absolutely. Should everyone who is used to endless choices of multi tracking do an excercise of commiting to one track as opposed to many? Absolutely. The technology isn't actually at fault but it allows you to be lazy and non-commital. It can render you almost incapable of making a desicion, or as you are suggesting John, uncaring to actually getting better in the first place. There is a time and place for everything.

But if you've ever done one punch-in in your life John, you may want to hold onto them stones. And if you always hit the mark every time in one shot, I take my hat off to you and I'm sure there's a long line behind me that will do so as well. I agree though, working on your chops and getting better should always be priority one. But there are many who ARE skilled that punch-in sometimes and do multiple takes sometimes. Nothing wrong with that either...in my opinion.
