Great explanation of Live versus Overdubbing. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain. Great teaching style :)

[@iosifpateroulis1081]

can you combine the two? ie. record live, and then go back to the studio and edit the parts that you don't like from the live recording, and add whatever part you may want to add?

[@Taylorsound]

Yes you can. It really helps if you play to a clock track or metronome. Thanks.

What is your learned opinion about a comment like this:
How ironic that nowadays, every musical act goes out live and tries to "sound like the album," when back then the magic was already there live and you tried to capture it on the album.
Is this even rational? Special pleading?

Every method has its place.
