Thanks to everyone for the replies. When mutes or faders were used, was it necessary to bounce tracks? I'm trying to get a better idea of the process of using a mute button or fader. My imagination tells me it would look something like this: A given guitar track with some noise in between parts is listened to, and sections needing muting or fade down are noted, track is played and simultaneously recorded onto another track while the engineer manually mutes the sections requiring it using notes as a guide as to when to hit the mute. Is this correct?
