I play mostly acoustic/folk/fingerstyle stuff with very little in the way of drums or percussion. I listen to a lot of similar stuff that sounds as if it's been recorded without a click (bon iver, bright eyes, Tom waits) my question is how would is this style of music tracked. Would it generally be a live (and kept) take of both vocal and guitar/piano, or, is it more common for the performer to record the main instrument without the vocal, and then add the vocal afterwards.
Our engineer insisted on using a click as we have lots of instrumentation which is fair enough, but I'm just curious as to how others would approach this particular kind of music.
On future projects I would like the track to breathe more but without the sometimes problematic timing issues.
