I agree with Herb 100%

I don't think what you are saying is what Herb was saying though. Just my opinion. I'm not going to speak for him.

For top 10 hits, comping is what they do. It's not "I'm sure some do" they ALL do MANY, MANY takes.

For what we do, it's probably not necessary. The reason I say "probably" is, if it's what someone wants to work on, go for it. smile

It's all fine in my book. I'm not commenting on what someone else should or shouldn't do. smile
